Default Board Size....?

Im looking to buy a wakeboard, but am not sure on what size board to get. Im only about 5'6" and weigh about 120, but have a few years more to grow. I wanted to get a board that i wont grow out of too quickly and one that my older brother can use. He weight around 150 mabey a bit more, but do you think i could purchase a decent beginnier board that would work for us both. I dont mind buying a little bigger, considering i want it to work for me the next few years. How big a board do you think i should get?

Probably about 141? Go for something with a continuous Rocker like the LF Team
