What size is right for me?

Hello all...just for starters this is an awesome informative forum. I 'm just getting back into wakeboarding after taking a couple of years off and need some help with board size. I've been to a couple of local board shops but everyone is telling me something different. I've gained a few pounds since I quit and the same board I used before just doesn’t feel right. When I say a few pounds I mean about thirty five, which bring me to
215 at 5'10". The board size I’m riding as of now is a 138. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

142+ for sure.
I'm 200-210ish and ride in the 145 area. Trust me bigger is better.

Thanks for replies. Are there any specific boards that anyone could recommend? AS of know I’m looking for a moderate speed board that has good pop in a 142-143 (if such a board exist)
