I just started wakeboarding this year and wanted to go ahead and start with decent equipment. I got a Liquid Force Trip 143 with some decent bindings. This biggest question I had is that everything I saw had a height and a weight on it for board length. I'm 6'3'' and about 150, so I don't fall into any of the categories. Should I lean more towards the longer Trip since I'm taller or a shorter one since I could blow away on a strong wind?

Weight. If you are a teenager that will pack on the pounds in the late teen or early 20's, then buy a board just a bit long, but not too much.

You should probably go by weight because the height really won't make the board sink or anything.
