| hey no prob.. but also, it depends what kind of wake your riding behind too.. if its a bigger wake like on a wakeboarding boat, you might want the board a little bigger, but for like regualr boats, i think 125 would be a good size since your small and light. but for bigger wakes, i saw another hyperlight board that was like 130... for got what it was though. Just look at the hyperlight boards on this site, they have a couple that look good. |

Hey gals- I'm 5'7" and 140 lb. "My" board is a LF Diva 134 with HL Spin bindings which I ride most of the time. It works for me- I can do surface 180's and jump the wake. It's a good beginner board for me.
I also sometimes ride a HL Temet 138 with HL Spin bindings (hubby's) and when I'm really up for a rough ride I try out the old skool HL Offshore 141 with HL "sandal" style bindings (the first board we got before we had a clue what we were doing- it's WAY too advanced for what we do I think!).
I have found that my Diva grabs the water MUCH better than the Temet which seems to be a bit more slippy. The Offshore is just plain old flat and asking for a BAD fall- it doesn't do ANYTHING with the water! I only ride that if I'm feeling daring and up for an injury.  _________________ I'm learning slowly.... don't laugh when I can't land my jumps- at least I'm out on the water trying!
I LOVE doing face plants- they clean out my sinuses and make my body feel WONDERFUL the next day! |

| I just tried the Watson 134 for the first time the other day, probably one of the funnest boards I've ever tried. All around a really good feel on the water...even though I usually hate 3-stage boards. |

| I am riding last years Premier with LF Transit bindings. I have just learned to clear the wake and am going for grabs. I have a fast aggresive cut. I am looking at the Shane bindings since I blow through the front of my Transits. Any ideas on boards that might be good for me, and thoughts on bindings. Or should I stay with what I am with? |
