Posted: Aug 23, 2008 7:01 pm Post subject: LF Jett 132 or 136 should I discourage a beginner from this? |
|

So my little sister and g/f are looking to pick up a wakebaord they can both share.
My g/f has been wakeboarding a while but not frequently enough to progress beyond cutting back and forth and getting maybe 1-2' of air one wake.
My sister has gone out with us once and is excited about learning.
We went to a pro shop today and they love the LF wing boots for comfort which led us to learning about the Jett board. Is there really such a big difference for beginners that I should tell them to try and Angel or Diva first?
Finally, My sister is 15 and weighs 107 and is likely to get a bit heavier over the next few years as she grows. My g/f is up to 150 atm I think. 132 recommends 70-150 and 136 100-180.
I'd like to order the board by tomorrow so any responses would be great.
Thanks |

Get the bigger board. You can't go wrong, especially if your sister is still growing. _________________ [quote="Swass"] 8824, dude - I suck. You were right.[/quote]. |

The Jett is the women's version of the Witness. My wife and I both went from beginner to where we are now with the Witness. It is a great board all around. I agree with DL8...get the bigger board. _________________ If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? |

Thanks for the feedback.
Thinking I'll order the board & boots in another hour or two.
Anyone else care to comment? |

I agree, get the 136 and the Jett...I'm a beginner and I own a PRO board. I love it! I'm certain it helped me progress.
Good luck! |
