Hyperlite movement, first board?

I went out wakeboarding today for the first time today, I was able to get up, but haven't gone outside the wake. We weren't out very long so I'm still getting used to it. His board is a little small for me. I want to get my own board. I found a hyperlite movement 2004 with bindings. It has bindings(same color as the board so I think they came with it) which are size regular, if I wear a size 12 shoe is that big enough, the seller said he has a 10 1/2 and it fits him fine. Asking price is $150. Is this a good deal? Any other tips/suggestions for buying my first board? $150 is the most I can spend. Also is this an all out beginners board or will I still have fun once I get better?

a 2004 movement for 150? I sell brand new ones for ~200.

Oh yeah, don't buy it. The boots absolutely suck. Try and get the nicest boots possible, worry about a board later.

what would you recommend as a good board/bindings?

I also found a liquid force Evo 138 with Liquid Element bindings. He said it was only only used 1 day and was bought last year. they want $200, could I get him down to 150 or is 200 good(cause that's more than I want to spend).

Go down to Wileys in south seattle, or even evoseattle. Tell them what you have to spend, and I'm sure they'll hook you up. We also have old boots at GI Joes that we sell for cheap. I just sold some 03 Exo's for $50 yesterday.
