I want to start wakeboarding asap but when it comes to slecting a board and bindings i'm lost. What board/bindings would be best for me (6' 150lb) under $150?

Try calling your local ski shop and see if you can buy one of last years demo boards from them. You could probably get a good deal there.

if you know any veteran boarder, ask them if they would be willing to sell any of their old boards or if they have a friend that would be willing to sell.

and luketx04, you stole my signature........punk.

Try COSTCO. I bought a spare board there for $140 CDN. 140 cm Jobe with boot bindings. Works great and is a good starting board.
Cool

I'd save up and wait ... or buy the older models

I would say wait or borrow the money. You can get a good beginner setup for 300.
