I'm 5'7 and weigh 145......i currently ride a 41....do you guys think a devotid 38 would feel too small? I'm thinking it will feel more like a skateboard?

not too small, but you can never tell until you ride it. i'm 6'0" 150 and i ride the tnt 38 and it's the perfect fit.

I'm 5'11" and 130, and Ive been riding two different 38 boards, and they both fit fine. You will ride great on the devotid. But if you are still concerned, that board comes in a 40.

5'9" 185 - 190 and 38 feels like perfection.

a 38 bi level and a 38 integ are 2 wayyyyy dif boards.

idk if id do my comparing to that. but a bigger board will always help you out in the long run.

and you cant go wrong getting it a little bigger.

col101, I have ridden both, and while they are different boards, the difficulty of riding them due to size is similar. And i dissagree completly with the second half of your post. <3

col101, he asked for a size comparison not the way they ride. a 38 is a 38 in size.

and for the bigger the board the better i have to disagree also. i downsized from 40" oak to the 38" tnt and i've done nothing but progress and become more consistent.

I just traded my 40 devotid for a 38 and I'm 5'11" 150. Try the board out and see for yourself. It's not like you are going to be riding under water or anything, lawd!

skimboarder, exactly you went from an oak to a 38 integ.

not a 38bilev

and i didnt say that bigger is better necisarilly(sp?) better

but for anyone learning on a bit bigger board (40-41) can only help.

if your newISH to wakeskating than landing those bs shuvs could be a little tougher
