Hi

I'm new to the forum!

Well I'm going to be buying my first board + other kit soon, but I have no idea what to buy, I normally go to the local cable park fairly regularly over here in England.

First things I've been looking at are wet suits, impact vests and boards and bindings. Well what size board am I going to need being 5ft 7" and 140lbs. Any kit recommendations would be awesome.

Thanks in advance Smile

boardstop.com has a nice board finder where you plug in your size and riding preferences. It will help you ballpark the size board you need.

Have you been wakeboarding for a while? I would check with your local shops first, they can typically put together a good deal and get you in the right stuff to accomplish what you want to ride, make sure you know what you want to do....I am personally atached to my CWB Faction, but everyone is different...Have fun and be safe...
