Right, so, After riding for many years on rental boards ive finally decided to get my own.
Its gonna be mainly for use at the cable ski in Sheffield
Im about 6 foot and 168 pounds so I was thinking of 140+ length
Cant really afford a new board so I'm trawling Ebay for second hands.
Any suggestions on what sort of price range i should be looking for
Ideally after an old Ronix One
Would this be a suitable for a beginner/intermediate board? If not any suggestions?
Thanks for the help
Bob

I dunno about the older ronix one but I'm pretty sure the new one is 4 removable fins. Correct me if I'm wrong here but I was always under the impression that molded fins was more desirable. And you should also look for something with a slider base.

Ive heard good things about removable as you can change to preference, i was also thinking of a Ronix Venue or a Hyperlite State

Yeah, you can change the preference, but you'll destroy the fins every time you hit a slider or rail. Even risk severe damage to the board. For cable parks I heard molded fins is the way to go. Maybe research that a bit before settling on a board...
