Purchasing Wakeboarding Equipment

[cmarty123]

Can anyone point in the right direction?

I'm looking for an on-line sight to purchase wakeboarding equipment, etc.

Twenty years ago, the only place like that was Overton's (catalog sales only of course). Are there any better web sites than this keeping in mind price, selection, and service? Thanks....

Welcome to Team Talk. Depending on where you are in the Midwest, you might be close to The House Boardshop. They are right in St. Paul and have a huge outlet center with some serious discounts. They ship as well if you aren't local.

Looking to save more money, check out EBAY. Thats where I started and got my original wakeboard, kneeboard, barefoot boom, etc. from there. Saved me a ton of money.

I've used buywake.com in the past. Had great deals back then.

can anyone point me in the right direction as to what size board and brand I should get?

im 5'8" 170 for reference

I've got a 135 Hyperlite State and a 135 CWB Pure both for sale........both great boards.......should handle your wt.........make an offer. Had the boat repo'ed in Spring....looks like I'll be losing my house here soon.........motivated seller.

I think the 135 is a little short for me

Many factors go into deciding what board works for you. I am your same size and ride boards from 135 to 141. Your skill level, boat speed, wake size, and style of riding all make a big difference.

Assuming you are a beginner, I suggest a board between 136 and 140 cm. I would go with a continuous rocker or "hybrid"/"Subtle 3-stage" rocker board as they tend to be more predictable.

Lots of good choices. The Liquid Force Witness 140 would be an excellent choice.
