Help Choosing A Board

We recently purchased a four winns Horizon 170 QX, not a wakeboarding boat I know... but hey parents overruled me on that one.

I've been wakeboarding for about a year on my friends boats and boards however now that we have our own boat I figured its time to get myself a board. I'm around 5,11 and about 160 pounds. As far as level I would say around intermediate.. I can pretty much get wake to wake and with this new boat I should have it mastered pretty quickly. I feel that to help me progress i need to buy a board with more pop, however I also have a lot of friends that may want to try wakeboarding for the first time so any boards you suggest should not be impossible to learn on either. My price range is between 250-300$, I've been looking at some hyperlites and liquid force packages at boaters world however I feel I need to broaden my horizon.

Any suggestions of boards and/or places to buy is really appreciated.

Look For package deals and get a board at least that is a 136. As for a board with alot of pop, youll want to go with a 3 stage rocker (not continous). Aslo virtually you friends can learn on any board you buy.

check out grizzly-sports.com. They usually have great close-out prices (all hyperlite gear)
