any wakeskate will be fine a for a complet newb, but after u start progressing or break that one start thinking of a new one. 43 is a bit large but for learning thats fine, how big are u tho?

does a concave board alot better then this faction 42 board?

Nitewake336,

Concaves are much better and stick to your feet. You could als get away with a smaller board once you move up to a concave.

I am 6'0" 190lbs and I ride a 41 Integrity.

yeah. im sure the shorter concaves are easier to manuver, olie, and spin.

Do these plywood board brake easy???

THe integrity decks are $240 for the Team and $280 for the Pro model.

Yeah I have seen that link and maybe you should check out this link. www.integrity-wake.com

These boards are bullet proof and will not warp like a wood deck.

i dunno Nitewake336, ive never heard of them breaking due to just use on water however a lot of skates delam or peel and deteriorate in water after time. perhaps u could break it eventually on a rail/rail. meh . wood is good for the first couple rides until u can actually guage ur riding and find out wut u personally need.

Nitewake336,

What happens when you drop your skateboard in the pool or constantly run it through water. It will eventually warp, delam and lose its pop. The same happens with a wood wakeskate.

Spending a $240 on a skate that will last many seasons is much better than spending $150 on a new skate every season. Quality vs quantity!!!

Very true guys. if i go through this summer loving wakeskating, i'll buy an integrity next winter... this LF wood board will be good enough for a first season.
