watson 138 or 142
I am sorry to start another what board thread, but this one is more specific. I want an 09 (price saving) Watson. I am just not sure what size. I am 5-10, 175 lbs and ride a witness 136. I ride wake to wake mainly and dont take it into the flats (on purpose that is). I want a board that lands soft. Right now I am go wake-to-wake consistently and the only trick (other than grabs) is a toe-side 180. I am hoping to work on a heel-side 360 in the near future. So should I go with the bigger board or stick with the 138??? Thanks for the opinions.

I ride the 142, having moved from the 138
you wont be disappointed with the larger board, it will land softer and you'll ride higher and faster, IMO Its a nice board |
i think either board will work the 142 may hold you back on spins like a 720.it will give you more boost off the wake. the 138 will be faster and spin a little easier. hope this helps.

been a big board rider for a long time. switched to a 09 watson 138 this season. love it. dont see myself going back.

Im only 170bls, over the last 6 months made the switch from a 137 to 139 and now just made the change to a 142.
Go the big board! Lands much softer, everything is more floaty and stable. havent noticed much impact with my spins. |

My dad is almost exactly the same size as you, I'll let you know how he likes his 142 in 8-10 business days.

I'm smaller than you and ride the 138. Agree with others, go 142
