I'm am going to be buying two new boards this season and I could use some help. Wakeside changed their website and, unless I'm blind, I can't find their board sizing link.

One of the boards is for me. Last year was my first season wakeboarding and purchased a LF EVO 138 package. I am wanting to get a board for this season that has more pop and will last me a few years as far as progressing. I was able to get W2W and some surface tricks down last season and want to step it up this year. I was thinking of the Omega 139, but I don't remember what sizes were in my weight range (185#). I don't need anything too expensive, so I'm looking at getting a board/binding package. I've also read reviews on here that the Substance is good too, but it's more expensive.

The other board is for my wife, or other girls on the boat. All of the girls that go with me are all beginners and they ride my EVO. What size board is good for an average sized girl? I want to get a cheap, but good all around package.

Any recommendations for either board?

I think you'd be pleased with the omega or substance. I just purchased an 05 Omega 143 myself and I'm about your weight.

Been a few threads about female boards lately if you wanna look for em. But might wanna check out the LF Angel or Diva? Not sure about size, possibly 129-134ish would work fine for the average girl I guess.

I think that you should hang on to that EVO for a while, 138 is a good size for a guy your size.
