What should I look for when buying a wakeboard?

Question

I want to buy my boyfriend a wakeboard for Christmas, but I don't know what to look for. He is 6'1" and about 180 lbs. and has really long legs. So if you have any general or specific info it would be helpful. Thanks!

Some general info: Size of board, style, general cost, a good place to find bargains( I'm in Anaheim, CA). Anything else you can think of.

Answer 1

If your BF is really into wakeboarding and can do alot of advanced tricks i would suggest a Ronix board or a Hyperlite board. For Ronix get him the One series, excellent board. For Hyperlite get him a 2006 hyperlite Byerly. Awesome board. For his size i suggest a 139-142 cm. Find a board shop in your area or search the internet and order on-line.
