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.

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.

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!
