  1. Board length is determined by weight not height. I'm 155lbs about 5'9" and ride a 132, though I like my board shorter with lots of rocker for more pop and a more sk8 type feel. The best thing to do is go to a shop and demo a couple boards to see what fits you best. Usually if its a good shop they will apply the demo cost to the board if they charge at all. How good are you? beginner? intermediate? Don't get a pro board if its your first time. They are way more aggressive at edging and you'll probably think it feels loose....there also more expensive and most brands offer a model that's just as good just not a signature model. Visit buywake.com and check out there chart to determine the right size range, then try a couple diff rent boards out and go from there. Good luck and Wake or Die.


  2. http://www.wakeside.com/page/w/CTGY/wake...  has a great application for checking out the different board manufacturers selection.  It shows you how loose the board rides, the pop, and the ability of the rider to give you an idea of how the board might fit you.  Then you can check the sizing recommendation of the boards you like to ensure you are ordering the right fit.  If you have a local board shop, demo the boards you think you might like to ensure it is a good fit.  Most shops will apply any rental fees towards the purchase of a set up.  Definitely worth the rental.  Good luck.

  3. Anywhere from a 131 to a 137. You shouldn't get any board out of this range.
