n00b help with boards

I read the sticky post on choosing a board and it was a lot of help...However I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I can still buy a Cassette 3D pro 41"....a friend of mine has this and i really liked it, especially for the marked down price. I really only wanna spend like 100-150 which i realize cuts down my options, but i was wondering what people thought for decent boards in that price range. I have only ridden like one weekend, so i have no idea what boards are good, but it seems the concaves are easier....also i dont like to ride with fins. please help me out, i really want that 2003 cassette but am having trouble finding a 41"

also just wanted to add that overtons sells the cassette 3D, but only in a 43".....If i am 5'10" and 155lbs, will this board be too big for me, I kinda overlooked it cuz i thought it was but want a better opinion....I ride off the back of my seadoo gtx wakeboard edition so it doesnt kick up a big wake so i wouldnt be going for w2w tricks.

seven11dmd, I think the 43" would work fine...

Alright well looking on buywake.com the kampus swing caught my eye becuase of the price....its a concave wooden board which i was looking for, and 100 dollars seems like a steal....can someone give me an opinion on this board, or kampus boards in general?

or any board reccomendations for a beginner....i get out on the water a lot though so i want something that i can keep once i get better.

my friend got one and liked it, until it delaminated within a month, he hasn't gotten his new one yet so we will see what happens with it
