Hey as my name is im new to the forum. original wakeboarder now converting after a summer on my mates skate. so much fun.
selling off my board for my own skate to really get into it.
Down in AUS wakeskating isn't as big as in US so we dont really get much info on it.
just wondering if people could point me in some dirrections eg good beginners boards etc.
after grip, concave, small skate.. first board so low prices for starters.
if you got any tips let me know, just be searching the forum in the mean time

cheers

you can look for last year models on ebay
a good beginner would be a lf or hyperlite. It depends on how much you want to spend.

yea like a hyperlite scape or phriction or something along those lines would be good, most painted LF peel like a beach though. oh and welcome to the site Birthday

welcome noobie. I will recommend getting a bigger board as a beginner.......42-43", grip, fins, and concave. Cheers mate.

yeh deffinately hunt down a board with fins, being possibly short at 170cm, nah im short im not sure on how you size up a board to your height? it go by colar bone,shoulder ? etc..
You guys hinting i should try find a board with little design appeal?
heat transfer images last longer possibly?
im in victoria man.
