Are there any freak riders out there?

I think that I am the only person that is 6 foot 9 and wakeboards. I am not that good. I was just wondering if there are any tall wakeboarders or if I am the only one.

I also have three brothers that wakeboard. my two older brothers are 6'9" and 340 and 6'6". my youngest brother is 6'8". My mom and dad wakeboard too. She is 6'3" and my dad is 6'1". I think that I have the biggest wakeboard family.

I'm 6'5.

Man, you should ride a bigger board. High center of gravity and probably a little top heavy, so longer helps with landings. I felt a big difference going from a 140 to a 144, and I'm about to try and get on a 147 and see how that feels...

A bud of mine, Ryan B, I believe is about 18 or 19, and I think he is 6'7". Smokin rider. Looks like he is 20 feet in the air with the pop he gets.

I am 6'7 and have been riding the Harris 143 for a year now...love it. I feel more stable on a bigger board.

Derick, if you ever learn raley's they are going to be HUGE!!! You are already starting at about 7 feet off the water! Do you ride with a wider handle? If not the standard 15" wakeboard handle must feel small.
