shes 5'4 125# whats a good size and type of board for her and an easy binding to get in and out of.

By Justin Lamoureux (lives2wake) on Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 8:51 pm:

premier 135, anything 137(ish) and shorter. I wouldn't recommend a lower end adjustable binding, something with simple wraps...

By Craig Kennedy (invertedschool) on Sunday, May 11, 2003 - 9:12 pm:

I would recomend the Liquid Force Rythum 134 with ez suction bindings. The board is super easy to ride and the bindings are adjustable- have fun

hyperlite essence 131, blindside flower 5-0 132, cwb hood 129 all are good boards. Cwb torq bindings, hyperlite split or belmont bindings, Nice wayward or baron bindings too.

I just got my wife the divine 134 hyperlite and she loves it,,,,

I'm trying to find a board for my niece who isn't very athletic but REALLY wants to learn to ride. She's about 5'4" and 115 - 120 lbs. She's very timid on a board and needs something really stable but easy to learn the basics on. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help

By Scott Banks (bankssa) on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 4:28 am:

The Belmont series is really smooth and stable. We have five boards to ride and everyone who rides with us picks up the Belmont if they are having a bad day. It doesn't pop you as much as a Byerly, or parks but it is really smooth and easy to ride.

My gf got the Motive 134, with parks bindings alreday popping off the wake pretty good.

An ironing board

Does she ride a lot?
Does she ask to ride or do you have
to ask her?
I bought my wife a set up (Rythum 134 with ez sucs) and it was the biggest waste
of money ever. She's only ridden it once
in a year and a half. The good news is...
I won't be buying her anymore gear which
means I'll be getting a new board soon!!!!!!

Wanna buy a rythum 134 with LF sucs? (mediums)

By David (wakeguru) on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 9:00 am:

That is why the first board should be a used board like the one I have for sale on the Classified section here

By Tim Krutz (timmy) on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 9:00 am:

how about a cutting board? or a washboard?

By Paula Murray (pawmurray) on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 11:10 am:

I ride HL Premier 135. Good pop off the wake with a soft landing. Fast but not too fast.

By Tim Krutz (timmy) on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 1:53 pm:

By Steven E. Cowen (stormrider) on Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 2:20 pm:
