Hi all
I am new to wakeboarding and am looking for board advice.
I have just started using the ramps and obstacles on our local cable park and have had an unbelievable offer on a board, but would like some advice as to weather this is suitable or worth getting as it will be better for me as I develop from using the parks hire boards.
I am in the UK
180cm tall
10st (140lb)
Size 9 uk (42)
The board is a Double UP Seven Park 133 (Brand New, un-opened £50)
From reading the board sizes for my weight it is spot on, but at the wake park they have been giving me 142 - 145 boards.
I have used a couple of times a 136 Jobe and this did feel much better, on the larger boards I feel like I am skimming the surface way too much, but do understand that they are easier to learn on.
I have always preferred a smaller Snowboard but am a little confused on the wakeboard weight to length chart accuracy, or for £50 this will be a great board as they only come in a 133, 137, 142 I assume they are meant t o be smaller.
In short for my size and for £50 will the 133 be good for me to progress with?
Cheers
