Answer 2

you could ask your friends or the people at the store for their expert advice. heres what I found on the roam board you mentioned..

If you're a snowboarder looking for a short learning curve and a smooth transition into wakeboarding, Hyperlite's Roam Wakeboard is your ride for the summer. Unlike traditional wakeboards that use molded fins, the Roam has a flat base. Essentially it's what Hyperlite calls a "flexboard"--you bend your knees and use the board edges to set your turns. This innovative approach to riding is also great for wakeboarders who are seeking riding diversity with great rail-riding potential. Hyperlite designed the Roam with a flexible E-core construction designed with nylon to let you flex the toeside edge differently from the heelside edge. This creates an effective edge along the Roam that emulates snowboard characteristics on the water. Despite the obvious differences between the Roam and other wakeboards, Hyperlite dedicated the exemplary attention to detail in the construction. Like Hyperlite's best wakeboards, the Roam features a layered glass construction that doesn't use woven glass fibers. That's because woven glass fibers tend to separate over several seasons, reducing a wakeboard's lively snap. The Roam also has the jib-friendly ABS sidewall construction also found in Hyperlite's Premier and Murray Series. What's completely different is at the core--a 100% wood core design that effectively emulates the same torsional flex found on snowboards. Who says you have to hike up to the glacier this summer to shred? Check out the Hyperlite Roam and ride the rails.

if you've done it before then this board sounds like a good one for you!
