hey dudes,
im getting a legacy (good deal so no suggestions please) and was wondering what size would be best for me to use only behind the sea-doo. so w2w is not a consideration.
im 6'0 and 150lbs level intermediate.
and my younger brother is 5'8 and 140
thanks

get the 42

never ridden the 39, but the concave from the 42 hurts my feet

i say the 39 just because the 39 measures up to about 42. They sized them wrong or something.

will the size really make that big of a difference in pop behind the pwc? i know landings may be a little bit harder but the flickability of the 39 is a plus. they both look like boats though, epecially the 42. their site has the 39 for kids but idk

cactuscoolerooni, can you go demo the 2 different sizes before you buy one?

i wish i could but unfortunately that is impossible.

"flickability" may be a new term on here. I like it. anyone want to rate the legacys flickability? good luck w/ whatever deck you decide on!

its not impossible...for example you could go to odub and for 20 bucks try the two different sizes out. i dont know where your at so it might be close to imposible but not impossible.

PERFECT IDEA! ill just spend 800 dollars on airfare for a 200 dollar board! i guess not impossible but the vegas/mead area surprisingly has a very small wake scene especially when you get into wakeskates. thanks for the replies so far but help a brotha out!

get the 42 man i work in a shop down here in austin and if you came in thats what i would recommend you're a taller guy so you'll want more room for your long legs I'm 5'10 170 and the 39 felt to small to me go with the 42

42 is punno, a 39 would seem chopped and you need something more to work with. A shorter board seems harder to maneuver than you would think, at least from my experiences on a 40", it seemed harder to ollie on then the 42".
