okay im j/w does size and weight matter what you can do, like a 5-2 108 person(like me) can they get around faster or get a bit more air than a person that like like 6-3 235?

well if youve noticed most of the top pros are pretty short, like well under 6 foot, but that does mean a big guy cant rip it up.

im 6'4 215 and i can ride just as good as any short rider... i can do alot of inverts and off axis spins, it really has never had an affect on my riding at all...although i stretch everday so i can get small, i think the reason why most pro riders are so small is because they couldnt do any other sports cause of there size so they chose wakeboarding Laughing no offense to any short people at all... i wish i was 5'10

Last time I checked Jason Buffalo was a fat SOB and could bust out some inverts.

The answer, NO it doesn't matter.

Pat is tall he can ride.

If you are an athlete you are an athlete, short or tall you will figure it out.
