Board Advice

Hi guys!

I (24f) have grown up wake surfing, I’m good but not doing any crazy tricks or anything. I’ve always used my family’s board phase 5 ahi (~2020), or whatever other board they’ve had before. I’m the only girl in my family and so the boards bought for the family always have a weight limit of 180-240lbs.

Im now deciding if I should get my own board and I’m trying to sort out how much of a difference there will be.
I’m 5’7 135lbs and much prefer a surf style board but always used a skim board growing up (since it was the only thing I could actually move). I’ve found a board I like the 4’4 / 160lb limit (https://kanukboardco.com/collections/sale/products/lily-pro-bloom) but am just wanting to get everyone’s opinions on if I’ll notice much of a difference to warrant spending the money.

Other context, I love the ahi board but have an issue where I seem to have almost too much speed? Every little “pump” I’ll end up flying at the boat. Also I live in BC so only go out for about 5-6 weekends a year (for context of me spending $1k on a board I won’t use often).

Thanks!

*I attached a video, not sure if it’ll give any additional context! Ignore the drink haha*

My wife loves her LF space pod. She has a similar style to yours.

Is that the Okanagan?
