Hey we have a crownline boat and i saw wakeboarding and it seemed like an awesome sport. And after about a year... i finally got one. Its an obrien ambush 143. Is it any good? and if any of u know about a crownline , will it tow me well? its a 192 br. And ... when starting off in the water how do i sit? most times on tv the people start of on land. and tell me antyhing else i needa know about the sport. I plan on tryint it out the first time on saturday. So let me know..

A 143 is a pretty big board - what size are you?
