What is the best wakeboard to buy for my husband?

Question

He is 6'8, around 200lbs. He can catch some air, but he needs a better board to really pop and have stabler landings?

Answer 1

get him a hyperlite premiere 142 and he should be set. I ride the 136 and im 6'0 145 so the bigger board should be perfect for him.

Answer 2

I agree with g-money. I ride a 2006 136 Premier. Hyperlite is the way to go. If you want to customize a board for him. In other words find the perfect board for him fill, in this form at wakeworld. All you have to do is insert in his weight, height, experience level, the type of board you want and the price level and it will list you different options. http://www.wakeworld.com/Wizard/Boards.a...

Wow, your husband is tall!  When you want more pop off the wake, you are going to want a board with a lot of "rocker."  "Rocker" is the distance between the floor and the tips, if you had the board sitting on a hard surface.  I am no pro or anything, but I think the general logic is, the more rocker, the more pop.  Most boards are now being built with 3-stage rockers.  I ride a Hyperlite with A LOT of rocker and I love it.
