I need help finding a wakeboard for my 7 and 10 year old. Neither of them have wakeboarded but both knee board. I want to find a wakeboard and binder pakage for under $325. I know very little about wakeboards but I want to buy one that is good for an beginner, that my kids will not grow out of quickly, and that looks cool. I would be thankful for any advice on what board and binding and where to get it.
thanks.

Wakeside.com has proven to be very reliable and have great prices. In fact, I just ordered myself a Hyperlite Era 132 from there two days ago at an awesome price. Go to "on sale" and look at the packages section. Hope you find what you need.

with the shoe sizes that far apart, and the kids growing, you're going to need 2 seperate sets of boots. and with the ages of the kids, they're gonna outgrow any boots that would even fit them within a year. that and you have two growing kids, their weights can outgrow the board quickly. so you can buy a package/board/whatever, but you'll need to upgrade soon enough.

you could get away with something like the cwb trooper with comp bindings. I would sell you one for $150 shipped.
