See if you can find a used Liquid Force fish. Its a great board, forgiving yet you can catch great air too.

Scratch my suggestion. They have recycled that name for their wake surfer. That is not what I am talking about. I have a liquid force wakeboard called the fish. I now see liquid force sells a wake surfer called the fish. why would they do that?

I recommend the Liquid Force Trip. For your size I'd go with the 146. I'm about 240. I got the 142 for Christmas but just switched to the 146 last weekend. The 146 rides easier at lower speed but doesn't feel bulky on the water. My son now rides my 142 and my wife rides the women's version of the Trip (LF Angel 138).

It's a very light board, really good edge control, nice pop and soft landings. I've tried the CWB Kink, CWB Faze, and the LF Trip. All were great boards but the Trip is my favorite of the three. Look it up on evo.com.
