I want to buy my husband a wakeboard for christmas, but am unsure exactly what size he needs. He is 6' 2" and weighs 215. Confused He thinks he needs a 141, but is not sure if he needs to go bigger or not. We are just beginners at wakeboarding, if that makes a difference.
Any suggestions??? Question

gwf54321, 140 plus usally works for weights over 170, 180 etc etc.

gwf54321,
Blake is right on. 140 or bigger will suit him fine. I would recommend talking to your local shop and see what they can help you with as well.
Good luck,
Joe
