New boarder...

[pidgey]

Hi all! Im a reformed snowboarder turned wakeboarder. Its been a bad season so far, the times Ive tried to get up I cannot due to a recent surgery on my ribs. Now i think Im ready to go out again. When I am in the water, should I have my elbows bent at all?
What can I do (besides practice a lot) to get really good? It seems so natural because it is similar to the snowboarding motions.
I am 5'4, 125 lbs. Im not really into spending a lot. Would a used girls board off of Ebay be a good choice for a first board?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

umm... it really depends on what you want to do with it. there is a lot more than colors and looks to buying a wakeboard. im guessing you think youre a beginner so you probably want a 134-136 cm wakeboard. any other questions just email me at show_boy08@hotmail.com
