08 Slingshot Recoil Package on BBB

Currently rideing an 05 Murray which is heavy as crap and am in the market for a new ride. How is this board? Im an avrage rider ( no rails) just wake......... Is a 142 the right size for me? 5'10" 170lbs trying to get to 155lbs LOL

The board is awesome, and that is a killer deal on that setup. If I were you I would ride the 142.

I am 160lbs and 6' tall and ride the 142

i had (female) co-workers who were smaller and lighter than me that preferred my recoil 142 to the 137 syn (2007 era) shape they typically rode. Even with the greater size and surface area the first thing they noticed and commented on was the lightness.
slingshot boards are not THE lightest boards (only a select few are lighter, like the sub 6) on the market but they sure do FEEL like they are the lightest!

ENJOY!

no a 134 board can go up to a 170 pounds.. if your going to stick with losing wieght i would sugeest that but if your going to stay the same weight i would get a 138

Jay,

Possibly the absolute "safest" route for sizing would be to get the size closest to the size of boards you typically ride.
If the size of board you typically ride lands between the sizes offered by slingshot then I (personally) would recommend the larger size vs the smaller just because of what i said before, that the boards are so unbelievably light!

Thanks everyone.............looks like i lost my chance. they are sold out

i was fooled by the meter just now...guess the meter isn't working quite right on today's steal. I am sure it will pop up again, blank, or a response or something

well i got hooked up with the 2008 138 I guess my summer target weight will be 165-- i gots 10 pounds to loose. Come on p90x after my cast is off

And i just looked and my Murray is a 138 i thought it was bigger..........so i guess all is good
