Looking for a new skate

Ok, I need a little help here, I am looking for a decent wakeskate I don't want to spend too much but don't want something I cannot progress on. I have been out on a couple of different ones and definitely prefer a foam deck but would consider grip tape if it is a better deal. I just want something to play around on when we take my girlfriends Dad's boat out because there is no wake but they like to ski behind it and I can only do so many surface 3's and butterslides before I get bored.
One more thing, I weigh about 210 so I would assume like my wakeboards I need a larger board.
Any help would be appresciated.

Thx

first off, yo can progress to a certain point on any deck, but if you wanna go quite far, ie. big spins, kick flips and such i would go for an integrity. they are $240 US for the team deck and 280 for the lemons(pro model). so its worth it but it comes with grip tape, which isnt bad, but its not foam liek you wanted, but if you want a foam deck i know LF and HL have faom top decks that are pretty sweet too. they can progress you pretty far but the integrity is the bopard to ride right now.
