Nemesis!! My friend has one and he has used it since he started wakeboarding, he has done well in many competitions, also winning a few on that board.

what size slingshot were they on? i just looked at slingshots web page and the smallest board i could find on there site was a 133cm that"s big for a kid that is only 60lbs.

133, 134. The kids were around 70- 75. The boards were big for them but they were fine. I ride a board that's 4cms bigger than what I should ride.

I'll second the Nemesis. Both my boys ride that board and have for a couple seasons now.
