Hey Matt

My kids bought me a O'Brian Double Ender for fathers day 7 years ago when I
turned 40 I'm not sure of the length though. I'm a big guy at 250 plus and
though I dam near drank the lake but I fooled the kids and I learned how to
get up on that board. Then I wanted a new toy so I bought a Hyperlite Phatty
which I think is the biggest board they make and it's the caddy for big guys
and beginners. I have the O'Brian Morph bindings so several riders can share
the same board but two of them have failed so far and O'Brian doesn't have
spare parts which ****ed me off at $160 a pop! You don't need the $50,000
boats with the big towers we wakeboard behind a small 16' trihull with a
85hp motor. I picked up one of those four foot ski pylons from West Marine
and they work fantastic for both kneeboarding and wakeboarding behind a
small boat. For the big air the bigger the better on the wakes though. I'm
putting in a 100 hp motor this spring as the old Mercury died of old age
last year, can't wait to be out on the lake again.

I'm planning on purchasing a wakeboard. (i'm about 155-160 lbs) Beg/Inter
at
wakeboarding. I have been looking at the 140-143cm boards... I see they
state starting at 160lbs any suggestions...

Board I'm looking at is the Hyperlite Vero 143 with Spin or Split
bindings.

Also any good wakeboards forums / boards?
