Hey I'm not new to wakeboarding, but I'm movin up for a new board thats a little more advanced than my old one, the only problem is I'm curious what size board I need, I'm a little under 6 foot and i weight about 160...I live by the hyperlite factory and my old board was a freebie i got there many years ago but it was a freebie because its not an actual model and i dunno what size it is...anyways, anyone that knows what size I should be lookin for would be great

you can find the size by just measuring it...duh, and you would probably need a 135 0r 137 Cool

Thanks for the input, i know i can find the size by measuring it, but its over 4 years old and i've grown since then, just want to know what size I should be using now...

Well I'm leaning towards the CWB absolute or the pure, anyways, the absolute only comes in 134 or 141, i'm pretty sure the 141 is too big for me, i'm 5'11, about 160, would the 134 be too small? most of last summer i rode a 136 or 137 with no problems...just curious

It's up to you really. I've heard of 200 lb people riding a 134 (that's a little extreme). You will just sit lower in the water and might not pop as much. See if you can demo it.
