Just out of curiosity, what was the first board that you have ridden on and/or purchased?
Here was my first board combo:

It's funny, I actually took my board (Watson's first pro board, the Helix 136) off the wall at work and brought it home to ride it yesterday. I forgot how much a 3-stage board 'dogs' it when you are cruising, and what a pleasure it is not to 'crank' down those old Plush Pros anymore. Great memories though...

Liquid Force Free 145 and High Suction bindings. I still have both. Our board and binding guides don't go back far enough to give me pics of them!

New to the site, and i figured it would be better to post my question here than to start a new topic...

Im heading down to virginia beach for the summer and my cousin wants me to go wakeboarding with him. I told him that i've never done if and he said its easy. So says him. Since i need a board, what would be a good starter board? I saw some video on ourstage.com and it seems there are a lot of options when it comes to choosing the board, the bindings(?), etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

Simon you will get more responses if you start a new thread. The board I posted above is a Hyperlite State 140(the white one). It was as great beginner board that isn't going to hold you back. Unless they made the state bindings better I would pass on them and get better bindings like Torq's. When I bought my package it was the board and state bindings for 400 bucks. That was 2 years ago so you can find a good deal out there on this stuff. If your buddy is set up on boarding you could always mooch off his gear. Just my $.02

Mine was a hydroslide from walmart with sandal bindings. It was under $100 and was solid plastic. No fiberglass or foam core, just a solid hunk of plastic.

This isn't my board but same model and the color was yellow. This is the board that started my obsession to the sport. I ended up giving my Skurfer away to a family that wanted to try the sport out. After this I went with a CWB Area 51 with Techno Vert Bindings. I wish I still had the Techno Vert's to show everybody how unsafe they were.

Sorry for the picture that is the only one that I could find right off hand.

My first board, and still have it, was the "HO Hyper Lite" Purple, Orange and Yellow with the bungie bindings. Sorry I don't have a picture, I'll take one tonight. We had a yellow Skurfer, but I don't call that a wakeboard because that thing was more of a pain infliction device. I have a hip pointer to this day because of that POJ.

Hyper lite! Picked it up for 50 bones from a frustrated neighbor who couldn't figure out how to get up on it. Back then it still had the bungee straps too though.

the first board i had was an o'brien shredder. i got it on my 8th birthday from my dad. i refused to get out of the water until i got up on it. it took about 45 minutes but finally i prevailed. wish i still had that sucker. but i do still have the 96' obrien double ender with the original bindings. i tried riding that thing last season just for kicks it was horrific.

My first board was a Connelly before they became CWB. It had Sub Rosa bungee bindings.
