Alright guys,
I have wakeboared for a few years now and am getting a little bored. I would like to try a wakeskate and need a little input from yall.

Ok, so I have a few questions.

-I have been riding a Belmont 136 wakeboard. I weigh 140lbs. What length skate would you reccomend?

-What board would you reccomend for $150 or less for a begginer that should be able to advance pretty fast?

-Grip or foam for a beginner?

Thanks for the help guys. Any other useful tips I should know about when buying a new wakeskate?

well, since you've been riding the 136 belmont, you should definatly go with a 41" integrity.

but since you wanna keep it under 150 bucks.. get a cassette. 41"

YES EVERYONE I SAID GET A CASSETTE.

Don't get anything Hyperlite offers for under 150....unless of you course you like riding 2x4s around.
