I currently ride an 03 or an 04 132 trip which has no pop whatsoever. I weigh around 120 pounds and I'm looking for a board with alot of pop and with alot of control. What size board should I get and which one do you think would be the best for me? I was trying to find a nice 128 board because lately I have been riding my friends 128 and it makes a world of a difference(maybe becuase its not a trip). Would the 132 byerly be a good board for me? Or is there another board that might be a better choice?

if your not getting pop, getting a pro board wont help. your not doing something right.

I've been riding a LF Trip 138 for 2 years and I have no problem landing out in the flats with it. Also that board has six fins, you arn't going to find many boards with more controll that that one will offer. Just a thought but you might want to spend money on your wake or either a good DVD to get your progressive edge up to speed.

I used to ride a trip 133, and I weighed 170 at the time. It had tons of pop. You're doing something wrong.

It might be too big for me or something..he left his board at my house and i measured it and its a 122..i dont know if that has anything to do with it.

well boards that are 122 and 128 seem a bit small for someone that is 120 lbs.

how tall are you?

Dude i love the byerly. Definitely a great board.. although the rope snags the cutouts on the edges everytime you turn around to pick someone out of the water.

if your toes are literally hitting the water when you edge toeside then you are not edging correctly or you need to reposition your bindings.

You are 6'6" and 120 pounds? I bet you look funny riding a 122. Maybe your weight is sinking your 132 to much. I cannot remember the weight on that board but I think the 138 would have fit you better.

5'6"-5'7"*

Yea and i dont think that its because im not edging correctly because its only my board..what angle should i have my boots at?

lol, 6'6" and 120 lbs would make an interesting looking person.

well, just make sure that they are centered on the board (centered side-to-side). angle is all preference. i have mine ducked 1 or 2 notches from straight.
