41' or 43'?

I'm getting a new skate and I don't know which size to chose. I was previously riding a 116 scape and I want to try the 41' but I don't know if it's too drastic of a change. I want to learn new tech stuff this year but I also like going big wake 2 wake. Any suggestions?

For tech I would say a 41", because it's more maneuverable. I love the 41".

go 41"...i'm 6'2" 180lbs and i am currently riding a K39...i've ridden a 43" cassette previously and that was too long...i like the k39 for the width of the entire deck (i'm size 12)...so a 41" with wide tip and tail (integ) -or- a raised platform (bi-level) would be perfect for me

Where's parky? He's the expert on board sizes. What was it parky, 37.25 to 39.144?

Chris41, Yeah, if you get a deal on a 43" but hten decide on a 41, just get praky to hack off a few inches, it works wonders for real.
