Choosing board, kickers and sliders

[Anders Knudsen]

Hey,

well this topic has probably been covered 1000 times before but I couldent find one that fitted my description, so here we go.

I am a new wakeboarder, and I am going to buy my first wakeboard, this is mainly going to be used in a cable park, and once in a while behind a boat.
so much of its life will be spend on obstacles like kickers and "rails/sliders" ?? not really familiar with the terms yet

I have only been doing this a few times, so I am still stuck with a few grabs and 180's of the kickers but hope to start getting the hang of it pretty fast - but it is annoying that I have to rent a board every time.

I am 183cm tall and weighs around 70kg.

as a full time university student and a advanced technical and cave diver I cant afford to put to much money on the tabel, even though I am hooked on this wakeboarding - so I was thinking for my use what is best a continious rocker or a 3 step rocker ?
I have been looking at the Hyperlite Murray 2006 with a leingth of 133cm - would you think that would be a good choice ?
I was also considering the Hyperlite B-side 2008 136cm even though this is a bit more expensive would you think it would suit me better ?
any other choises ? I am based in Denmark so webshops should preferrably be from EU.

as I have read some of it is a question of style ? how do you define style ? as I have no clue of what my style is - my goal is some good hangs and railey tricks ( the railey actually hurts when you dont land it by the way :-S )

thanks in advance
