Last summer I bought a new boat. Although I a have never wakeboard before, my wife bought me a new board for x-mas. The board is a Obrien Valhalla with ION bindings size 143. I am 6'4" and 230lbs. Is this a good board to learn on? or a to advanced board. thanks for the help

I dont know much about about that board but everybody I know usually progresses so quickly that they wish they had bought a more advanced board than they started out with.

its just the right size and any wakeboard is good as long as your having fun. and it should be able to handle any rider level. Very Happy

head1st, your board will be fine. It might be hard to learn on, but once you get the hang of it you will be fine. I rode one last year a few times, and it cut well.

I bought a 20' Reinell LS with a chevy 305, Yellow, to match my Dodge Rumble Bee
