Board Purchase Question

Hi!
I'm looking at boards to purchase (my dad got my family our own boat Smile

). I have wakeboarding experience (I'd say I'm intermediate), but I've never purchased my own board. I have been looking at the "Body Glove Signature CRW / Ultimate Wakeboard & Binding Combo" at Dick's and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it or if it was a good choice. Or, maybe you could suggest something else. It would be nice to get some kind of combo.
Thanks!
Savannah

Look online... there's alot of deals on closeout '05 packages.... but i guess that depends on if you want to wait for it to be shipped or just go to the store... grab and go!!! Waiting for FedEx sucks. As for Body Glove... i have no idea...sorry... i've been riding a little over a month now and haven't ridden many different boards.. just my Hyperlite and my friend's CWB.

I just ordered my 05 state online. Be sure to check a bunch of different places because the prices can be really different! A lot of places offer free shipping which is really good as well.

Hyperlite makes really good boards. Even their low end- motive are great.

Its relly best to ride as many boards as possible before buying one

I had a body glove 2005 and broke the bindings on it from falling and I am no pro. However the board has been great, took it back to the shop that i bought at and they replaced the board and bindings for free. The 2006 bindings and board look much better. Of course there are a ton of board binding combos in this $ range though. let me know if you have any other questions.

I have to say that I don't know a thing about Body Glove, but maybe there is a reason for that..... Laughing

All the above links can give you an idea of what you can get in your price range. The top link will generally give you a better price if you call(prices are already good).

Personally I would go with something other than the combo you are looking at.........

Anyway, just food for thought.
