I'm looking to buy a board.
I'm just getting into wakeboarding and last summer have gotten good balance and this summer plan on starting to learn some jumps.
I'm a fast learner and good at water sports however still getting the feel for wakeboarding.
Anyway,
5'-9" 170 Lbs.
Is this board any good?
Blindside Five-o Tiki
132
"Pro" slip in bindings
Used 8 times
Asking $250 canadian for the package.
I don't need the best board you can buy but also don't want a crap board.
Thoughts/comments???
Thanks. |

132 might be a little on the small side for you and I don't know anything about "Pro" bindings. If I were you I would try it out first along with a few other boards to see what you like. If you are looking for an inexpensive price I would look in the classifieds here and on e-bay. _________________ There'll be two dates on your tombstone/ And all your friends will read 'em/ But all that's gonna matter is that little dash between 'em... |

132 definately seems to short, especially for a beginner, your first jumps will be very hard to stick with a short board... I'd look for at least a 135 or 137.

I can hook you up for your budget with an appropriate sized Blindside Stingray and Blinside bindings. The 5-0 is a good board, but too small for you. The Stingray has more agressive rails and will take you further on your learning curve.
