|
|
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. _________________ If the minimum wasn't acceptable it wouldn't be called the minimum. |

| 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. |
