    I respect that LOL.

    I am more then sure my weight keeps me from the wake to wake, and is a good reason other tricks are hard to do. The board is sized for me though, 141 board. It feels decent riding in the flats and its a master of the catching an edge..Or maybe I'm a master of it..

    I will have some first-hand experience in the next couple of weeks, but you guys should check out the new Nomad from Slingshot. I'll test out the 160 and report back.

    I had to go look that board up because I was thinking Man thats a big board at 160. Looks like that is just a larger board by design.

    When I got mine a few years ago 141 was considered a big board, but its also pretty heavy. I have 2012 bindings which are the newer lighter style. I do want to start wake boarding more though, just need to man up a bit more.

    I ride a 139 Ronix Mana that I got on sale due to it being like two years old. Wish I could have found a 141 or 142 version but oh well. 141 is not that big IMO.

    Maybe that's part of my whole problem I have a board that's to small for me and it makes riding harder.

    I removed the center track fins to make it more lose to allow it to spin easier, made learning switch a lot easier because I could slowly rotate into it.

    I am so tempted to buy that Slingshot lol. I think I will have to see if I can demo one from AWS this summer.

    I agree 141 is on the smaller side. I just picked up a 142 and I'm approx 6 ft 180 lbs.

    David, I had a 138 and like you, felt like I'd benefit from something larger. I grabbed an outlet board from evogear.com.

    I agree, the Nomad might be just the ticket for ya man. Go big (on board size) or go home! haha.

    Seriously though, there's a couple good threads on WW about that board and the riders have nothing but good things to say about it.

    Go buy one of these for under $300 shipped. They don't have the 160 right now but even the smallest 150 will be substantially bigger than any other wakeboard you will have ridden: http://blemboard.com/collections/wak...hot-nomad-blem

    I'm about 215 and ride an older LF 143 but only about 10x a summer anymore in perfect conditions. Never getting a new one with these knees.

    I dont like those slingshots. Rode one last year and my face go introduced to the water of keystone lake at a speed that would make .223 remington seem slow....
