New skate time?

Looking at getting a new skate. You guys were very helpful a few years back helping me pick out a WM. I ride behind the boat only and I am into the w2w stuff as much as the shuvs outside. I ride a 40” now at 160lb. Should I change the size or stick with it? Anyone have any input on brand for me? Digging the leaf, remote, wm, and original!

Thanks for the input!

I love the new watermonsters decks (or last summer's, I should say)! Both remote and WM have a similar construction but different shapes. I haven't ridden the new remotes, but I enjoyed riding the 13 yan. If things haven't changed, I think the remote rockers are a little bit faster, where as with a WM I tended to have to ride with my weight back a bit.

it is tough to find a boat friendly rocker line on a current wakeskate. Try to find an old LF Reed concave circa 2008....perfect for w2w Cool

I found my 2018 WM 39.5 pretty good behind the boat, depending on the size of wake you most conmanly ride maybe size up to the 40 or 40.5.

Thanks for the help guys! I’ll let the cooler graphic make the decision of 39.5 or 40 once some new boards are back in stock.
