I have never done wakeboarding before and i just went out and bought a liquid force omega 135 with alpha bindings but i am beginning to regret this as so many people have said that i wont be able to use it as its an advanced board!!!! The baord came with fins and i was told if i put these on it would make the board stable enough for a beginner i cant go out on the board to see for myself for another 2 weeks so can anyone tell me if they think ill be able to use this board or not?

dude i just bought a 138 watson i went out to a family reuinon or however you spell it, i got my cousins girlfriend up on the board and she had never tryed to wakeboard before, sameway with another cousin. an advanced board doesnt mean you cant use it, its just gonna be a bit harder to learn on because its above your skill level. deffinatly put some fins on there, the bigger the better when your learning, i learned with 4" fins lol. so try to find the biggest fins you can and just hold on

macdaddy07, those are some monster fins. Puppy Eyes

well i think you could ride it. ask the place you got it from if you could trade it in. its going to be harder. and will mess up your learning curve. thats just my opinion cause i know people that have done the same thing.

I personally believe that if you are fully grown, have money, and are looking to stay with wakeboarding, go all out with your first setup. I reccomend buying what you like the best no matter what the cost, becasue in that case, it will be staying with you a long time, and you should not need to go out and spend even more money to upgrade.

I've just started wakeboarding behind a boat, learned to get up and carve behind a pwc last season, I'm using a Parks w/alpha bindings and love it. Also got my brother-in-law up on it for the first time this weekend, although he did say the board seemed real jumpy, he did stay up for awhile.
