I have read all of the info on here, and have tried almost all of it, but I still can't get up. My friends board is a CWB 136. Would it be possible for me to get up on this board, or will it take a bigger board to get me out of the water. I am about 6'4 290lbs give or take a few pounds. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bigger board would help for sure- I'm right around 190-200lbs mark and I ride a 139, really yo should be trying a board around the 141 mark, hope that helps.

You should be riding the biggest board you can find. You also will need to be VERY patient behind the boat and let it drag you for awhile. Using too much throttle to horse you out of the water isn't going to be very helpful.

would a hyperlite motive 144 be a good board for me? And is it possible for me to get up on the 136 that I have now, or is it a lost cause?

144 should be big enough for you, I think the 136 is to small for you....
