A few of my friends have recommended I try wakesurfing. I'm just getting comfortable with some VERY basic wakeboarding tricks and would like to give this a try. Can anyone recommend a board (preferably one that I can grow into that's not a beginner board)? thanks!! - Shannon

How heavy are you and what type of tricks do you expect to do with it in the future?

Hey Dan - I'm 125, 5'3"... I honestly don't plan to do anything spectacular on it but that's what I said about wakeboarding and I learn something new every day! What do you think? Thanks for your help! :-)

My girlfriend is small also and she rides on a Phase5 Drew Daniello Pro. There are three different sizes so she got the smallest. I use the same board and I am able to do 180's and 360's no problem.

The edges are very sharp so the board responds very well.

You can get them in all different color combinations.

Do you think it'd be easier for me to learn on a smaller vs. longer board? What size did your girlfriend learn on? Thanks again! This is SO helpful!

A bigger board will be easier to learn on but not that great for tricks in the future.

She started on a CWB Razr.
