Are these boards good for a beginner?

Hi Wakeboarders

My name is Just and i am a complete noob to wakeboarding. I am looking at buying a board and bindings. This is what the local shop has recommended.

1. Ronix Mana 138
2. LF Substance 138
3. LF Trip 138

I weigh 185lbs so the boards are in the correct weight range for me. Any ideas on these or others? What bindings are generally used and are the best value for money, comfort, etc. So many to choose from!

Thanks

Just

I've been riding a 141 Trip that belongs to a friend. Really good board.

yeah, i just bought a Trip 138 and really love it. I've only been boarding for about 3 months

i thought the substance was pretty heinous looking

to my understanding the substance is a fairly agressive ride, I have a 142 Trip and it is very stable

The substance is a very good board, has great pop also.
