a boat, a board and bindings, rope and handle, vest. thats pretty much the neccesities. ummm oh ya its a little cold to start now but hey youll be ready for summer. okay you may be wondering "how do i get all this cool stuff?" well you can start off by looking for a local ski/wakeboard shop or a boat dealer if you dont have a board shop. in a ski shop you can find everything you need but a boat and more info. ummm if you cant drop 20 grand and upwards for a boat you can look in the find a pull section for someone in your area who already has a boat and doesnt mine giving you a ride. if you need anymore advice on what type of board bindings boat etc. that you should get use the search function to find a multitude of useful information. |

do you have friends or relatives that can help you out or are you just randomly wanting to start wakeboarding ? _________________ "Once I stopped to think and forgot to start again"

The Headless Chicken, Good advice HC.
oshrielbaz, If you get a boat, try to get a direct drive or v-drive. Inboard/outboard, not a good idea. Ride with someone first. Make sure you like it before you go dropping the cash. _________________

The Headless Chicken, hit the nail on the head.
When you board/binding shop...jsut for some advice: don't limit yourself to a certain company...anyways, enjoy the sport |
