Hey there guys...

Im new to wakeskating and was just wandering about board preferneces. Are all the boards the same weight, if not do you prefer a light or a heavy board...

If you can just help me out a bit it would be great.

Thx

Not all boards are the same. Wood=heavier, composite=lighter, Personal perference. Some like heavy(wood) some like light(composite), others like real heavy high riders(wood bi-level) As to length its all personal preference. Most people ride a 39-41inch. Probably foam for a beginner, grip for someone to wants to get better. Fins are also personal preference, however most ride without

Key thing EXPERIMENT

Kleinedief, heavier is better than light in wakeskating. around 11 lbs is good.

wakemitch, 11?

That's a little much.. maybe if you're riding a bilevel.

About 8-9 pounds is usually the preferred weight of a single level deck. But of course, as anyone on the site will tell you, it's all personal preference. Try some out and see what you do and don't like.

wakemitch, I didn't mean to p'zone anyone, if that's what you're getting at.

I was just trying to explain my perspective.
