who wakeboards?

I am brand new at it, and not sure what board to buy. I have only been on skis before - and stood up on snow boards to mess around - so I am green. I am 6' 200lbs, and not sure what size to get. I hear longer is better for begining...but looking for more tips!

We just bought a Sea Doo RXT, so I cannot wait to try it! :)

Re: who wakeboards?

The wider the betterIMO. It's been a couple years since I last wakeboarded or kneeboarded. Whenever I did wakeboard I think my friend had a Hyperlite model of some sort. It took me about 2 weekends worth of trying before I could really go for a long distance....but it was lots of fun. I miss it. Hummm.....might be nice to try again...?

Good luck to you! Have fun w/ the Sea Doo. They are great....I have the girly pink and purple '94 model SPF....(ya..time for a new one)..but still runs really well.:D

This will help.

there is a lot of good info here. The writer agrees with HIHUMMER that wider would be better for starting out.

That's why you drive the Sea Doo into the wake of the bigger boats!:p
