My little bro is 13 this year and he wants to wakeboard. He is extremely small for his age as in weight, like 90 lbs at the most. What board do you guys recommend for someone like him. He doesn't have any experience on a board but he can ski up some hell and back. Thanks for any feedback

if hes really small go for one of the small boards, like 126 or 128

HyperRash, that has nothing to do with it.

Zack_Attack, like wakeboarder said 125-130 should be about right. You might want to check out the Liquid Force Nemises, it it is good for progression.

uh I would say he might be 5 ft. compared to me he is very short for his age. I was 6 ft at 14 so. so do I need to go with like a junior board or what?

HyperRash, ok. some people give advice to newbies and say that they should pick a board based on their height, just making sure this wasn't the case.
