what size is a 44" board?

[dustin_m]

i can't seem to find the lengths anywhere online. i can find sizes and weights for the sizes but not lengths.

see, i'm about 190 lbs. and my board is 44". it sinks like a rock getting into deeper water so i figured its too small.

so yea, could anyone just let me know what size that is that i have?

depends on the brand, that is way to small if you're 190 lbs and trying to ride waves, you need something like a large or 53"-55"

yea well thats what i thought, but i had the board already when i started seeing guys riding the waves so i tried on what i had. oh and its a cheap ass Zap wedge. guess i gotta start saving for a real board...

Thats what I did, now I'm waiting for my ml vic poly vac in my avatar to come via ups. If you have a job it shouldn't take too long to save up. Here it is.

thanks.

yea hopefully i can get one this summer if i can save enough. i'll probably have to get a lower end Vic or something, but atleast it'll get my ass out there.

i used to ride the wedge, my first board but a good one to start my life of skimming... but if you wanna ride the waves def. get a better board that fits for your local conditions.

yeah a vic ultra, zap pro, sol pin, slotsik slot vac etc. would be a good choice or the boards for sale section of the mbs
