Integrity sizing question

whats goin on guys. I have been mostly a wakeboarder in the past but recently my GF decided to get me a wakeskate as I had mentioned in the past i would like to try the sport out. Well it turns out i LOVE it, brings me back to my skateboarding past. now the question is since i am big on the gym i am not a small dude. around 5'11 @ 200 lbs. I was wondering if the Integrity boards that are 41" will be enough or should i try to go bigger? thanks for everything guys.

OffspringZ28, I am 5'11 190 and have the 41. I find it to be perfect.

i have a 42 as well, but the Integ rides so much better, I ride the 41 all the time.

if you end up not liking it, you can sell it here in heartbeat.

You will not be disappointed.

i'm 5'11 and like 170, and i ride the 39 integrity, and could go smaller.. my friend is 6'1 and 200 lbs and rides the 39 and kills it. but since you come from a wakeboard background i'd go with the 41. it would be perfect.

wow those were quick replies lol. Im lookin at either the team or lemon pro model. is the lemon worth the extra 40 bucks?

looks like those were the 05 models. 06-07 is what i think im goin with

OffspringZ28, I wouldnt buy a Lemons! (JK) I am not sure if it is available. I am sure SOY would know that.

I have an 06 team, the deck is SOLID!

OffspringZ28, It will come with the grip, there is a video on this site on how to do it.

and on the Integ site it goes into detail.

the 41" is pretty wide so it should be fine for you.

to apply the grip put the sticky side on the board and the scratchy side facing outward.

i would go with 41. Just a little more surface area and it will feel more stable under you. You dont want to be riding a board that feels shaky under you.

its not to much about your body size its alot about what you like im 5'9" 140 lbs and i ride the 41 and thats just cause i like its size and im used to it
