What Size Wakeboard Should I Buy?
If you're in the market for a new wakeboard and you you're wondering what size board you should buy check out our wakeboard size / length chart below.
The chart is based solely on your weight and the only other consideration when choosing your wakeboard size / length is your riding experience and ability. These tips are pretty generalized and are for a fairly new wakeboarder.
I've seen some charts that also consider height but height is not really a factor for choosing your board size / length.
Once you've found your size range on the weight / length chart you can modify slightly based on your riding style.
If you size down a bit it will make the board feel somewhat lighter. This will make your riding more aggressive and make some tricks easier to do ... if you can learn how to land them on the shorter board.
Sizing your wakeboard up a little will slow your riding down some as the larger board will move slower in the water. The bigger surface area will help you land your "big" tricks as long as you can get used to the added weight of the board while you're in the air.
