Hey ppl,,, first time i got up on a wakeboard was july 4th weekend, and i got a CWB sol, its a beginner/intermediate board, i can now clear the wake, and pull off 180's w/ grabs, i know not much but the board seems too beginner-ish for me, money isn't an object for my new board, i've been saving, PLEASE GIVE ME SOME IDEAS FOR A GOOD BOARD, THANX guyZ Exclamation

Everyone is going to have their own opinions. Demo.

Hi Jamie,

What's your height and weight? That'd help me recommend some boards for you.

Yeah we need height and weight.. also like they said, demo as many as you can.

Might want to look into blemished boards if you don't want to spend as much Smile

i agree with colefooter, go with blemished boards if you can. you will save money that way. as for recommending a board...i dont know much about you so i cant really give you any ideas.

yep....agree with everyone else....a sol is a 3stage if im not mistaken so from hyperlite u could look at a premier or an era...from ur discription i dunno if ur ready for a byerly or parks....liquid force, subjekt, substance, trip. i dunno much about other companys....jobe and gator also have good 3stage boards...cant forget the absolute either. good luck finding a board...keep us posted on ur height and weight. and if ur able to demo use that as an advantage to find a great board. Very Happy

i realy like my premier. not too aggressive not to mellow. rightin the middle. i weigh 150 and got the 141.

but the 141 minimum weight starts at 160? ? ? today a guy that works at a wakeboard store told me the 136 would be perfect for me and i weigh 165-168 Confused

jamiedd993, it all depends on how u ride....i have a friend that used to ride a 125....he didnt like it but he ripped on it....its all up to u i would go with the 141.

jamiedd993, its a RECCOMENDED weight range. i came off of a 128 which the max is like 130 so lets just say i dont like following the rules. Twisted Evil

a bigger board leads to a more floaty, smoother slower style.
