good tip - thanks. I know exactly where that place is, as a matter of fact one of ski buddies bought a ski from them 2 years ago while we were up there in the Summer on vacation.

JMO - For your height and weight I would recommend a 137-139, depending on the manufacturer. Other things you need to think about are the rocker (continuous, 3-stage) as well as the agressiveness of the board.
You haven't mentioned your wakeboarding skill or how you ride. For me, I like and agressive board with a confinuous rocker. I ride on a Ronix Covin...I enjoy riding this board more than any other board I've ever riden or owned.
I am far from a great rider, but I enjoy carving hard and doing some basic airs with soft landings.
Someone earlier mentioned the boots...make sure they are VERY comfortable. I've had several pairs over the years and my current ones are LF CT Watsons. By far the most comfortable boot I've riden in. But everyone has a different foot so you need to try on a lot of different boots so you can tell the difference. Uncomfortable boots will take away from your riding experience and will make you not want to ride as often as you probably would like to.
Again, not a super-star by any means, but I've owned a lot of gear and I've learned the hard way in the past.
Good luck in your search.BKinSoCal - Brian
