ok im looking to buy a wakeboard. i'm a beginner but i would like a board that will still be good for when i improve (its probably the only one ill get for a LONG time..). Im just over 6ft and weigh about 150lbs, although im still growing (almost 17).

i was looking at these package deals for a liquid force omega here:
http://www.boardstop.com/index.php?cPath=53_69

is this a good board? if so which length would be best??

also these hyperlite 05 state boards look good.

Any comments would be much appreciated... thanks...

Id go with the Liquid force omega 139.Some people like there boards short and others long so its all personal preference as far as size.

mako88, Get the Omega Deal because the bindings are alot better, and it is Liquid Force. Very Happy

Liquid*Force*Rider, do you think the 139 would be best? and also what would be a good fin size??

i know this is a very general question, but if there is a better deal/board around this price range that anyone knows of then please let me know.

thanks..

mako88, There might be other deals but the Omega is a awesome board and i would get the 139 if I were you.

ok thanks, would it be wise to get those 1.3" hyperlite fins from that site for easier surface 180s, etc.??

its .2 of a difference. I would just get the fins it comes with and if its to hard to break into for surface 180s i would get 1" or under.
