im a college football player trying to get into wakeboarding but im not sure what kind of board to buy... im 6'4" 245...thanks

Look at Ronix. Perhaps a One 142? <BR>na jk start with a cheap board. Maybe a Liquid Force Omega 143.

why a "cheap" board? and why the omega?

Check here. Inexpensive boards and PAckages no tax and free shipping to boot!!! <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.evogear.com/outlet/results.aspx?&amp;bni=1437&amp;PG=0" target="_blank">http://www.evogear.com/outlet/results.aspx?&amp;bni=1437&amp;PG=0</a>

I would say to look at a board 144cm and up. <BR>One you might want to check out is the 07 CWB Faction 144cm, great board for all levels and a board that you will progress on for years to come. <BR>Here is a link to the Faction so you can read up on it a bit: <BR><a href="http://www.cwbwakeboards.com/2007/index.php?mod=boards_detail&amp;id_prd=10&amp;id_h ed=5" target="_blank">http://www.cwbwakeboards.com/2007/index.php?mod=boards_detail&amp;id_prd=10&amp;id_h ed=5</a>
