check out www.newwakeskates.com you can get a promodel or customize your own board. Also take a look at Devotid, they have a solid deck.

cheers for the replys, possibly not going as far as custom.. but something basic like that.

Im in AUS so that may limit my choices unless i order from US.

Also looking for something in the $250 range, there abouts.
*must have concave and kicks

noobie, have you ever ridden a bi level? Well if not I highly suggest it. New (<- company name) wakeskates makes a budget friendly bi level that does not sacrifice durability and qualitly, has a bomb ass graphic too. Cool

Good Luck

yeh bi levels i asume are an upgrade from original design.
Also guessing *new are based in US so probably be a last resort if i cant find something here.
Thanks for the site dalesk8, good to know we actually have a market for it here.

among other things, length is an issue.. im 171cm and 58kg.
I have no real idea on board size but like to keep it small

thanks guys.

now knowing im hunting for 40"
i think bi-level might be a bit heavy,coin and durability might not be as good as basic design.

doesnt have to be big name brand, but really like cassette's.

Anyone know of sites that sell models?

noobie, dont get a casette yet, its a bit early in your career to go getting a board that awesome Razz
Im from AUS too and trust me if your in the 250 buck range, go for a NEW, i have their pelican Pro model and will have the dub stix soon. (it may take a few weeks for postage but its definately worth it). If u are looking for a 40" go for the pastura pro model, just email them at their website and they will help you out (plus their board do NOT EVER DIE) www.newwakeskates.com

be sure to keep some money for:

-some new kicks (6.0 or some gator skinned Byerlys)
-a vest if you don't already have one............or even want one
-band-aids for grip tape burns
-a weeks worth of Taco Bell
-N.A.R.L.A. dvd
-a new hat........................cause you'll need one
-energy drinks!!!!
-inflatable shark, aligator, etc........ to ollie over
-health insurance
-winch investment plan downpayment
-sunscreen
-chewning gum
-taxi fare...........so your girlfriend will have a ride home after you ditch her to go wakeskatn
-pretzels
-that one sticker you HAVE to have on your board
-a new username on wakeskating.com........because you never stay a noob for long





.......that's about it I think
