How much are you paying for it? I haven't heard how it is for beginners but I've also never heard it mentioned as a good beginner board.

Size should be right.

i am paying around 200 for the board and here's another question...
what boots would be affordable and right for me and this board?

muse475, that board sounds pretty big to me for you. It is the equivalent of about a 145cm board. (the Fish is really wide.)

I would actually pay more for bindings at this point then I would for a board. You will appreciate good supportive bindings more than you will a new board. You can probably pick up something like an old HL Motive, Belmont, Murray, Premier (Era) or Fluid for less than $100 these days. All of those boards are great shapes to learn on.

If I were in your shoes, I would be looking for an older board, with a nice set of bindings.

thanks yall this really helped does anyone have any objections to a CWB Faze Wakeboard with Seven Hinge Bindings?

muse475, I object to the bindings!!!! those are about as basic and unsupportive as you can get. spend a little more, get a good binding, and you'll really appreciate it down the road. You can get some great package deals for under 400 these days, with boots that are leaps and bounds better than those

what package deals do you recommend that are under 300 dollars

thanks Cory Kerber i think i might get that board have you ever ridden it before

Yes i own it. It's such a good buy. The bindings are so comfortable. Especially if you take them to a Ronix dealer and have them heat molded.(The liner is a special material that can be molded to you foot.) The board rides very well. At first i wasn't sure if i liked how the board rode. But then after i rode it more and more i loved it. The graphic is wicked awesome two. The board is also very light. The only thing i can say is that you probably won't get an email from boardersmall confirming your order. I never did but the next day i got a shipping confirmation. I ordered mine on Tuesday got it Thursday. You'll enjoy it.
