Board size advice

Hello guys, about two weeks ago I started cable wakeboarding and I'm having a blast doing it. I'm already looking to buy my first wakeboard since my progression has been very very fast, probably bacause it was a "natural" feeling coming from snowboarding.

But about that choice, I am extremely confused because everything feels so different with sizes and boards philosophies. I have been riding with a rented Slingshot Terrain 148 cm. And the cablepark owners were moving me towards a 147 cm Liquid Force illusion (2023).

Now, the problem is, I am a 1,75 meter tall (male) and I weight exactly 65 kg. And I wanted to get by my own, from reading online opinions, a DUP Chilv pro (2026), but I don't know if I should get a 144 or 147 size, so I wanted to hear more experienced opinions about it if possible.

If it helps, for me the Slingshot terrain 148 felt smooth and fun! Also any landing felt good on my knees. And having no canals on the base was something that I enjoyed a lot.
