Asia - Great to hear you are getting into wakeboarding. Let me know your height & weight so I can help you out with what boards might work for you. If you feel more comfortable checking it out for yourself, try this link to the board wizard.

I've got lots of technical knowledge (thanks to my boring job & online access) but very few skills...LOL Let me know what I can do to help.

probably a 125-133 cm. I ride a 137, I'm 5'11" and 160 pounds.. my girlfriend is 5'4" and weighs about 95-100, but she tried to get up on a 132 (old, no clue what model.. Hyperlite though) and she couldn't. then we switched her over to a 125 and she popped right up.
longer = more pop. shorter = easier for spins, lighter. 3 stage rocker = pop goes UP (and WAY UP), continuous rocker = pop goes up and out. hope this helped. I dont know about boots though. sorry.
