Board Sizes

(chqwakeboarder)

I got a 05' Parks 136 for Christmas. I'm 6'3 190lbs, is the new board too small for me. Also, I'm a football player and hope to be 210lbs by next season.

4 sure

I figured, but the board was bought in a closeout and I don't know how I can get a bigger size. A). What are the disadvantages of riding this board (a.k.a. How much will the board under perform)? B). How would I go about getting the correct size (since the store doesn't carry this year of board anymore)?
Thanz in advance

Uhh...the board will ride REALLY low in water. This means a few things:

1. It will be SLOW compared to riding a correct sized board. You will be able to feel this when cutting around
2. On landings, you may or may not sink to the bottom of the lake. Just kidding. But really, you may dig the nose or the tail on a landing.

You need something in the 142 range.
