Default Need advise on new board purchase

I just purchased a CWB Zane board 139cm with 17" mid and 4 molded in tracking grooves. I believe it last years model but I don't care. My concern is if it's the right board for me, or rather, the wrong board. I am 210 lbs and have never been on a board before. I ski all the time but want to learn how to wake board. My other concern is that I wanted to buy a board that others could enjoy and that I could grow into with some practice. Such as women that are about 5' tall and 130 to 140 lbs.

Did I make a bad purchase?

Its a good board in that you can get loads off air with very little effort.
I have the same board but shorter and my better half chose it and she can ride it pretty well.

yeah man ,, the139cm will hold you, as for people 130-140lbs they can ride your board also,,or if you want more than one board they could go down to a 128-132cm board,,but at 210lbs you need to stay in the 139-143cm range,,,
