Ok im 6'2" 230lbs... so im a big dude. I have a lot of experience snowboarding, virtually none wakeboarding. Finally picking up a boat in the next few days, time to order some gear. Im not really worried about price, so just thro out something reasonable. I have a size 12 wide shoe too, if that makes any difference. Thanks for the help. I was lookin at stuff in th 146-7 size range....

everything u need...

rope/handle- http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.php?products_id=606&ref=35
then u can pick a color...

board- not many 146+ boards so id either get that ronix or this marek... http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.php?products_id=4433&ref=35

bindings- if you get the ronix go with what TnR6Rida told u but if u get marek go with this http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.php?products_id=4397&ref=35

vest- idk what exactly u want here there are a ton of them just make sure its cost guard approved (CGA)

id call boardstop up and tell them what u want.. make a list of everything u want then call them and tell them and they can probably hook you up and save you some money...

You and I are almost exactly the same size. I ride a LF Lyman 143. My previous board was a LF PS3 141.
