Man, your content is amazing and super useful. Unfortunately, wakeboarding is not that mainstream kinda sport, so don't expect millions of views, but among the small community of wakeboarders we do appreciate your contribution a lot. So please don't stop making it! Peace

[@jboneill]

thanks so much dude!!

[@meneerhidde5597]

Double flip the short board!!

[@jboneill]

oh I will for sure haha

[@Mental-Mess]

From a fisherman’s stand point. Not the size of the worm. It’s the way you wiggle it.

[@karp3306]

I used to ride 143 and sized up to 155. I might even go bigger next time. 6ft 200 pounder here... Bigger is better in every regard imho but especially for longevity purposes - if healthy knees and body is a concern, then the narrower stance and bigger board is the money.

[@jboneill]

Oh dope, yeah alot of people are saying the same. Im still rocking the 143, but the 147 was definitely sick also, the swing weight was just a little much for me, but other than that it was great

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

4.02 that method was so sick 🙌🏻

[@jboneill]

so dope!

[@hadrienchabanne2987]

As a « beginner » (now I can ride all modules but I don’t do tricks on them) I LOVE your videos I was wondering if you have one that explains what kind of board one should buy for a first board for exemple because there are so many kinds (3 rocker, continuous, with channels at the bottom or flat, hybrid or better to have a boat one and a cable one and so on :)

[@jboneill]

Hyperlite freepress is for everyone 🤘🏻

[@ryanshimabukuro3283]

Great vid, Jb! Double flip the short board!!! BTW, you going to do a same video for boat riding (Big vs. Small)? I've tried both and I much rather ride a shorter board behind the boat. But that's just me.

[@jboneill]

thanks dude! yeah i will dub the mini board for sure!! if i can get my hands on a tiny murray i will do it on boat

[@ryanshimabukuro3283]

Ryan Shimabukuro yuhhh

[@wakeboarding8658]

125 looked so small!

[@jboneill]

was sooo tiny for us!

[@jeffmarkel5351]

What about boat boards? Are people going bigger behind the boat too? Im 510 200 pounds i ride a 145 and 142

[@jboneill]

ummm it would make sense as wakes keep getting bigger, but yeah I still ride a 139 on boat and 143 on cable. It's kind of just personal preference, quite a lot of people are going bigger in size though. I am pretty sure some of the top dudes are riding around the same size boat board as me, but I am around 155lbs. The murray goes up to 150 on the boat if you would ever want to try that.

[@samsam-un3cq]

Nice video buddy How are your bindings who looks like snowboard bindings. I never heard about theme Thx

[@MrBRONCOTIME]

I ride a 138 Ronix ATR , should I take the cable fins off before heading back out on cable?

[@jboneill]

Yep 😊 or get a cable board

[@chriscall3425]

Should've just done 1 size smaller, or 1 size bigger, the gap used was dramatic,, like comparing a wake skate to a wakeboard.

[@jboneill]

chris call haha yeah totally, just goofing around lol

[@chriskokkalis2063]

Question because of ignorance: don’t you need floating vests when wakeboarding? Doesn’t the board itsself sink?

[@jboneill]

the board floats, we also wear floating vests

[@martywright8601]

Wow ok I was thinking about buying my son a new board .... he’s rocking a 124 but after you vid I might just hold off until he gets bigger ...... I just bought a 144 went up from a 141 and loving it ..... don’t think I would go bigger because of the weight. Still getting used to the swing weight of the 144

[@jboneill]

Marty Wright how much does your son weigh?

[@martywright8601]

JB ONeill 30kgs ...... about 70lb

[@martywright8601]

No sorry 88lb 30kgs

[@martywright8601]

Geez 40kgs

[@jboneill]

@@martywright8601 sweet, well if you are looking to get something, this 125 union is actually sick!, my buddy rocker steiner was riding it and was ripping so hard on the thing! plus it gradually increases in sizes up to 147, so its definitely nice to progress with over the years.

[@tomhamilton5126]

Yo JB, how about does size matter air tricks?

[@jboneill]

I reckon really big might not be as good lol

[@tomhamilton5126]

JB ONeill or big could work with a super scoop! 😅 PING^^^

Just bought at 148 slingshot terrain and am kinda worried it will be harder to do air tricks, is that true? I weight 170

It’s probably fine

[@RadRob000]

JB ONeill you should set up a patron or something. I’m sure people would love to keep supporting you! Even the fact that you reply back to everyone is amazing! Super greatly for all your tips, I’m actually getting pretty good and feel so much more comfortable on my board😛😛🤙🏽

[@jessewood2618]

I’m 13 and 110lbs and I ride a 147cm slingshot Shredtown and I love the bigger bord and landing is so much softer and I can whip out of everything I’m 5’6 and it’s good for me

Nice dude!

[@nightjacket3380]

3:50 What is that trick's name?

[@jboneill]

Half cab roll

[@nightjacket3380]

Thank you man, keep ripping!

[@blackicefalcon]

This is good - however, it'll be useful to for people who are riding 141s and 143s to let them know the difference vs 147s or 150s... that'll be more relevant...

[@jboneill]

True

I'm 204cm tall. What board size would you recommend?

[@jboneill]

147 union or wishbone

[@monikariedl5102]

Board size matters! :D It´s much less harder on you´re knees when you go over a kicker or an obsticale. With a bigger board it feels much more comfortable. I am on a 138 right now and had a 128 cm before but I am not a pro, You are much more experienced. Nicely done!

147 isn’t really that big as far as cable boards go nowadays, should go get a LF eclipse 160 and see how you go

[@jboneill]

was trying to have the same exact board model and rocker line. the rocker line makes such a huge difference on landings and how the board rides. But yeah 160 is definitely huge
