hello everyone my and my girlfriend are looking to change our board, we want both 2 beginner boards or if i can say that will forgive if we didnt do it perfect. My girlfriend was looking for the Ronix Krush 134 ( tell me if it can be a problem if she ride goofy on that board) ?? And for me i am looking at the Lf Watson 142 any inputs ? We both had a Parks wakeboard and we find it really too agressive so thats why we want to change.

Stance doesn't matter, your gf can ride that board.

I've got a Watson (134) and I love it. It is loose without fins, locked down really tight with the 1.1" ones I had, they're probably too big though. Edges nicely, really quick to get on it's edges too, good speed and pop, should be a good board for you, I doubt you'll outgrow it.

Some of my friends have ridden mine and they are beginners, they didn't have any complaints but then again they've only ridden that board or my Stance.

I did get a chance to demo it before I bought it and really liked it straight away, so I grabbed it. You can't really know without trying it out.

a watson? not really known for a beginner board. look for something with continuous rocker.

hyperlite motive. One of the best all around boards ever made, great for all levels

radikal - i'm going to have to recommend to you the O'Brien Player 143. it's the sickest board i've ridden'. it will definitely be a board that will help you progress, at any level...plus it's very forgiving. it's very consistent when releasing off of the wake...booted every time.

your lady would most likely really enjoy the O'Brien Skyla...my chick rides that and loves it. she's got about 5 months of riding under her belt and is now taking hear HS jumps out into the flats and is doing some pretty dope Stalefish's/Tail/Indy Grabs. Also, she's clearing the wake TS now. She started out on the Hyperlite Divine. Once she picked up the Skyla, there has been a super noticeable difference.

Plus, both boards are pretty easy on the wallet.

if you are 235 pounds and your girlfriend is much less that could be an issue for the length! I was 190 riding a 134 substance and the landings were harder and much less forgiving if I wasn't dead on with that board. I went to a 140 and lost a few pounds and things are better. Thinking it was just the new board ('05 shane) I rode a 136 Jett/witness that is my wife's board just to try it out. The landings were hard again and if I wasn't dead centered with my weight I'd tip. You'll need something bigger than a 134 or even 136 for your size. I'd say a 140-142 and if you girlfriend is smaller you could have sharing issue.

CWB Faction!!!! I ride it and so does my girlfriend! I can't say enough good things about this board--very consistent, forgiving , good pop and super soft landings.

I will agree with jron on the skyla being a great board for a woman. A man has sooo many choices most boards are pretty good. I have a B-side for sale that I think is very consistent and smooth, it is a 141 too.
