I have been a long time skier but my 7 year old son soon to be 8 is interested in wakeboarding. We have a Wake tower on a Hurricane 232 deck boat. ( If type of boat has impact on board choice) We are looking for a beginner board for him ( height 4' 2" 70 pounds)
any other beginner tips would be appreciated.
Thanks

http://buywake.com/catalog/gromdept/bindings any of these bindings are great

beware though, wakeboarding equipment will break the bank. I recomend going out to a local board shop and talking to someone there.

Thanks for the tips. Any thoughts on size. I have seen 109 to 228. Any size so small he may out grow it in 1-2 years. When is one too big?
