My daughter just turned 13 Sunday - honestly at 11 I would go with a larger board - She sounds really small but she could hit a serious growth spurt any day - my daughter grew about 6 inches from 11 to 12.5 - went from 75 lbs to 115 - so I would go with a 126 to 130 at least..........
a board that is too small is harder to ride than one that might be on the large side - size doesn't matter so much until you start spinning and inverts imo
don't spend too much on the boots - those footsie are growing too...... |

River gave you good advice about the board. Definitely don't spend too much on bindings - she will go through a couple in the next few years. If she continues with wakeboarding, her gymnastics skills will help her with inverts. Once she starts doing back-tucks and back layouts, she will have good body control which will help her greatly when she learns inverts wakeboarding. Keep her going with gymnastics |

I picked her up a LF Nemesis 124 and kids elelment bindings. I was helping her with her front flips on the tramp this weekend, without a spot, and was trying to convince her to give her back flip a shot without me spotting her. No go though, maybe her gymnastics coach will step it up for her this week. I am a dad, but I think she is going to be good. I built her gymnastics bar this weekend and it is perfect to attach the handle to so she can learn her passes. She is juiced about her board coming in. Me too : ) _________________

My daughter is 9, but is 5 feet tall, and weighs in at 75 lbs, she wears a size 5 in kids, 7 in womens shoes.
She has been riding for two years, we started her on the hyperlite 128.. I am so very glad we did not go small for her.
Your daughter must be tiny.. Aly has not worn a size 1 since she was 6, maybe 7. |

Extremely Tiny like her mama, who is 5' 2" and part Thai. She will be 11 at the end of june. She eats like a horse and her legs are getting longer, but she is still a very small girl. I am waiting on the growth spurt, I am sure it is coming very soon. |
