Hi, I am 5'6 and wieght 130 pounds what is a good size and type for me. Before I knew anything about wakeboarding, I bought the top of the line Body Glove Board but it seems to big and I can't get it submerged under me, it just floats in-front of me when I am in the water straped in.

Advice is much needed.
Thanks

I found a CWB ROCKER 132 CM WAKEBOARD W/TORQ BINDINGS, would this be a good board for me and would I be able to submerge this board when I am strapped in.

Are you just talking about when you are floating for the deepwater start? If you are the board isn't supposed to sink, its perfectly fine if its floating. The board should not be underneath you when you are starting, it should be in front of you. The boat will gradually pull you up over the board.

I understand the board should be infront of you but I was pretty sure it should be some what submerged in the water infront of you. When it is infront of me, I can hardly see the boat. hehehe

I'd get a bigger board. My girlfriend rides a 134 and she's only 110 pounds. 132 is pretty small.

And you don't really need to be able to see the boat, but if the board is blocking your view of it, you could be doing something wrong.
