hi guys

im new here and i have a question

last weekend i went to buy my new x-star and i almost walked out without a board LOL. so i didn't put much thought into size and grabbed a new liquid force with the most expensive bindings. when i try to stand up the board sinks. i'm definately not going to try to do 20mph when i can't even get up on this board when im not moving.


what size board should i ride

A wakeboard is not bouyant enough for someone to stand on it, not moving, and have it float. Its not made to do that, it will however keep you above the water at 20mph. It should sink when stand on it in the water not moving.

How about telling us what size board you got and what you weigh.

How big is the board you have and how much do you weigh? This may help
