Ok I'm looking at either a 136 or 140 witness. Here's my stats. 5'5" between 160-170 usually. Riding status, beginner/intermediate. Like to do lots of pokes and grabs, so spins and ease of control is important to me. Looking for a soft landing as injuries and age have caught up with me. Boards I own. 135 Omega and a 138 PS3. This is going to be a Boat ONLY board and it will never touch the cable that I usually ride at unless it is old and I've bought a new boat board. I've ridden a 140 Murray and Witness at the cable only and they just seem really big. I prefer my 135 omega and the PS3 is about as big as I like. BUT I don't ride these behind the boat and I know alot of riders here like a bigger board behind the boat. I'm looking to get as good as I can behind the boat this year, better than I am at the cable. My brother thinks the 140 would be better behind the boat(thats what Benny rides he says) and I like the feel of a 136-138 better. But I'm willing to go the 140 if its going to make me a better boat rider and it is easier on the landings. I'm not looking to go huge, but would like a good amount of pop, but the higher you go the harder you land. At least thats the way it is going off the kickers at the cable. Oh and I'm not going to buy any other kind of board unless its a lyman(MAYBE). I do like speed.
