I just got a boat and need a board to learn on and was wondering what brand and size would be a good choice. My boat doesnt really make a big wake so i would just basically be learning. I am 5' 10'' and weigh about 160 lbs. Any advice would be awesome.

Look at something in the 133-137 range. As far as brand, most are good. Look at Liquid force, Hyperlite, CWB, Blindside, Gator, Obrien or Double Up. All these companies make solid gear.

Get something with a continuous rocker. It will be more forgiving and easy to learn on than a board with an abrubt 3-stage rocker. (If you don't know what these terms are, use the search function and you will soon learn more than you thought possible about wakeboard design.)
