I've got a chance to get a used Byerly 42 and had 2 questions.

Will it work for my size? I'm 6'5" 230lbs.

And is it a good skate for my skill level? Which is noob. All my skate time is wake, no rails or jibs.

I am 6'0 and 190 lbs, I went for the 39 because I heard that I would have more fun with the agility that the 39 would provide for me. However, considering your significant height and weight difference, I would say go ahead and pick up the 42, especially if you can get it for a good price (I got my 39 brand spanking new for 150$).

I love my 39". But I'm only 5'11". They are actually a little bigger than the size says.

42 is a good size for you. i rode the 42 and liked it alot. its a good board to learn on its really stable and has alot of pop, it kinda reminds me of a wakeboard

We have a 42 and it works great. Everybody in the family can use it including my 13yo daughter.

Easy to control and will still cut hard and pop off the wake.

I'm 6'2" around 205 and it works ok for my size. You may have to go a little faster I'm not sure. I have noticed when we are going slow it really gets low in the water with me.

Rhawn, if you have small feet it will. i have size 11.5 and my shoes feel really awkward on the concave - because its so steep Colorful

My buddy Matt just got a Byerly 42 today. Hoping to try it out this weekend sometime.

I'm 6'3" 230 and ride the LF Impulse/Reed 42. I love that skate. Cool
