okay, i kno this is posted every other day, but i'm to lazy to look em all up and i have some more specific questions. I'm looking for a board this summer and am not sure what to get. I'm about 160-150lbs, and 6' tall. I picked up a 2002 hp Premier 135 DNA and was gonna use that this summer. My question is, it this gonna be way to small for me. I'm kinda beginner to intermediate level rider and need somthing i can learn alot on but i can use for years to come. I also want a board that can be ridden well w/o a center fin.

So, how about premiers (or the new era, same thing), should i prolly go with the 140? and is DNA make much difference (yes, i jsut brought that up), and how about cwb, the prodagy and absolute? What are they like? Yeah, and any other advice would be much appreciated.

I'm willing to trade my premier for another board if you will pay the shipping. Preferably a premier 140 or somthing????

Thanks much

the 135 should do you fine, Hype says they hold up to 185lbs, but I've ridden smaller when I was heavier.
DNA some people really like them, some don’t notice much difference, depends on the person. I'd just go with foam because its cheaper.
A lot of people (including me) ride the premier finless.
CWB's are good, I have an absolute and used to have a prodigy (but broke it) the absolute rides more like the premier but a little faster and a little more buck off the wake and softer landings. Prodigy is faster (I had the 2002 and grinded down the centre fin) I preferred it over the absolute. (I now ride an origin skull)
I say stick with the 135 and demo/borrow as many boards as you can to see what you like. Choosing a wakeboard is all personal preference. a person can only suggest what you might like, the only true way to know is to try it out.
