Any advantage to larger board??

Im in the market for a new board. I ride a 138 right now. Im 5'10 175 lbs. The reccomended size for me is right at 138-139. Can someone list the pro's and cons of riding a larger board than needed.
The boards im looking at are the Transcend 138 vs 142. later, Clay

a smaller board is gunna be slow but you can do spins faster, and a little squirly. but the 38 would be your size, so no worries on the cons. a larger board is better for flips b/c u ride higher on the water so when you are at the top of the wake you will release ull fly off, fast but sometimes too big is bad but the best thing about CWB is they take out the material (yet still STRONG) in the tip and tail for less swing wieght.

I wouldn't go with anything smaller than a 140. I am your weight and height.

Clay - ridden both the 38 and 42.

I weigh about 185 and am 5'8".

Prefer the 42.

the overall stability of a bigger board made the difference for me. btw 6'2" 175. never ridden a CWB so I can't really comment. If the cons of a bigger board are spinning it, then to me there are no cons. I have no problem spinning my HL 142.

hey clay, just remember that shane bonifay is less than 5'5" and rides a 137. dallas friday is 5'2" or 3" and rides a 138. with your size bigger is better. i am 5' 11" 165 and ride a 141 and would ride a bigger size if they made one for my board. the bigger the board the better the pop, and softer faster landings. and dude, the bigger board is almost as easy to spin. dont let that scare you. i would go for the 142 for sure.

6'0" 170 lbs. and I ride the Transcend 142

Justing: How do you like the Transcend? They thing I hear about is over and over is that it is SLOOOOOOWWW, but does that bother you? Should I pick one up for myself?

WakeBoard Magazine just did a article about Smaller vs Bigger. I will have to look it up but they were talking about how all the riders were going to bigger boards this year.

I really like the Transcend. I'm not a huge fan of super fast boards and the Transcend is slower than a lot of others. It's not like it just drags in the water though. The board is fairly loose when riding straight, but when you put it on edge it holds like crazy. The pop is really smooth for a 3-stage and it lands as soft as any board I've been on. I know I just repeated about what everyone else says about the board, but it's true. Slower board, smooth 3-stage pop, loose when flat, holds great on edge, and softer landings than most. Hope this helps.
