 Posted: Aug 14, 2006 5:42 pm Post subject: A board for my father. |
 |
|
My father and I have been learning all about the wakeboarding scene and have been using an O' Brien 133. The board is perfect for me but he has a little trouble with it. He can get upand everything but according to everywhere I look the board is too small. I think he's 180-210 Lbs at about 6 foot 2 inches. I don't make much or any money, I'd like to buy him his own board since he bought this one primarily for me. When/ where could a find a board for him on a very low budget, as well as some larger bindings. A package deal around $300-$400 would be absolutely great. Maybe I could find a board for him in the off-season cheaper?

| It sounds like he is a beginner wakeboarder, so a package for $300-$400 should be extremely easy. You could get a 2006 board and bindings for that, no problem. Given his height and weight, I would say a 138 or larger would be good. Check out the board finder at boardstop.com for models. |

Its that time of year apparently. EVERYTHING is on sale, which is great.
Check out www.buywake.com. Those guys KICK ASS! I bought my '06 CWB Flame 14 w/Torq Hinge bindings from them. I ordered it online and had it in my hands withing 48 hours. You can't beat that!!
Sounds like dear ol' Dad could use a nice package like the CWB Pure 140. Good luck.

| buywake.com is good., but wakeside.com is better. the prices are the same, but wakeside.com shows you the specs of each board and how it compares to others. |
