Want some help getting started

[need_WB_info]

Hi, I would like to learn how to wakeboard this summer. I've snowboarded for 2 seasons now and want to do something over the summer to keep up on my skills, so i thought wakeboarding would be a good choice but I need some help getting some equipment. I'm just looking for a cheap solution. I'd like to learn but don't have a ton of money to spend and won't be using it alot. So yes... I'm like 5'5" and around 180Lbs. If anyone could give me any advice it would be very appreciated. And sorry for this being so long.

Thanks alot

go to a local shop and see whats on sale....

i recommend you hurry up. the sooner your in the water the sooner you'll be able to get up and enjoy yourself.
