WOULD THIS BE A GOOD WAKESKATE?

I was looking at the Liquid Force WUD wakeskates and I weigh about 160 LBS or so and would a 40 42 or 44 inch would be better for me.(if it matters in around 5' 9") thanks.

(and does the LF WUD have concave or is it flat?)

I'm about the same size and i feel the best size for me is around a 40 or 42 inch deck... but the real question you should ask is at what level do you ride at...
smaller boards i feel i can control much better and feel more "skate style"...a longer board will feel more wakeboard style... you could grow out of a bigger board fast once you progress or you could grow into a smaller board...smaller boards tend to drag more also...just my opinion...

I'm 5'10 and 170 and currently ride a 42 4-trac(thats falling apart at an amazing rate) and don't think I would like anything bigger. In fact I really like the size and shape. I rode 40'' flat for the last 3 years and loved that size.
I would recomend the 42 until you figure everything out.
DEMO if you can, or borrow a buddy's board

RUSSIAN, are those stress cracks growing that I noticed when we were at Calero?

M3Orion, you should see it now, those cracks are now fault lines Rolling Eyes

. The rails have little paint left from delam, and the bottom is getting much worse. I think it's been ridden around 6 times and looks 20 times worse then my 01 40 flat(which never took on water)
