Answer 2

yes, I have some ideas.... but they may not help on your routine or anything like that... I think it is great that your doing this.. so just keep a positive mind about it and always think that you can do this and your great at it.. whether or not you come in first place... I hope to see you one day recorded as the best.. and with the good thoughts and the "I know I am great at what I do" you will go so far... Good luck... and be safe... I think you will make it to the top...

I don't know what that guy is talking about Hyperlites being horrible because every wakboarder I have talked to has said that Hyperlites make the best bindings and board. Hyperlites also make boards and bindings to fit everyones riding style. I have a Hyperlite byerly board and binding and they are awesome. The bindings have it so you can tweek the angle and setup of them to the way you want. I would only get a hyperlite if you have the money and will wakeboard alot because they cost about 700-800 brand new. You can buy brand new Hyperlites that aren't the new ones like 05 or 04 for about 200 though. If you don't get a Hyperlite, I would get a Liquid Force because I think they make the second best stuff. Also Hyperlites makes boards for beginners to advanced and boards that both can ride.

Answer 4

Ideas for a new board setup? I like the shape of the boards: PS3, and the Omega, I ride Liquid Force all the way around. Hyperlite bindings are not very good quality, but I'm not sure about their boards, but do not get hyperlite bindings. For the 360, look up the whole time you are doing it, because if you look down you will catch an edge, and 360 falls are usually face plants, or hard slams. so don't look down until you have made the handle pass. Good Luck

Answer 5

if you're asking what board to get I really like my liquid force diva. my kids have one called the CWB Bella----don't like it at all. feels like a cinder block on water. If I was buying a new board I'd go with  the liquid force angel. Ideas on inverts or 360's? a helmet.

Answer 6

I don't know but that's pretty awesome.  I can only waterski.  I tried wakeboarding and fell on my face like 7 times.

Answer 7

I recommend a board approx 130cm or so. Get bindings that are really tight to get into in the shop as they will give a little once you start using them and  you don't want to come out of them when trying inverts or 360s.

Tip# Slow the boat down and shorten the rope when you are learning 3's and flips. This will make the falls less painful.

CWB, Hyperlite, Liquid Force are all good companies.

I recommend checking out Dallas Fridays, Obrien with her bindings. It works well for her.
