Hello!

Could you just please give me a second opinion on the board size.

First for me 70-75kg 172cm freestyle getting more into wakestyle, riding more or less with boots. Thinking of buying a North TS. I intentionaly won't write what size board i ride now :)

And my girlfriend 45kg, 162cm, riding the second season, novice starting with jumps. Board that she wants North Soleil (well the only board with girly colors ;) ). Same thing what size.


Thanks guys.

You at 75kg ( wanting to ride boots ). 136-142

Your pocket rocket at 45kg anything from 126 to 132

you need a 140 if its a deep channell maximum rocker wakestyle board. 133/136 for everything else.

your misso needs a 132 minimum anything smaller is impossible to sell again.

Size is your friend if you want to ride boots. I am your weight and ride a 141 axis billy. I had a 137 LF Echo before and wanted to go bigger and it is a definite improvement, with boots you do not notice the size of a bigger board. But you do notice when a board is too small as it is harder to get on the plane in lighter winds, harder to hold a big edge cleanly.
