sorry i skipped your question about the body glove concept board. Personally i would recommend something from a brand that specializes in wakeboards (i.e. Ronix, hyperlite, Liquid force, Obrien, CWB, Slingshot etc.). body glove makes wakeboards only at a entry beginner level.
BOOTS!
Also you will want to consider a good pair of boots from a reputable brand as well. If you can try on some boots in a store. some prefer a softer boot with more flex to make grabs easier and poking tricks effortless. Others like a stiff and supportive boot to have stronger edges and more control on the water. like rocker, there are lots of boots that are in the middle- not too soft and not too stiff. you can have the best board in the world but you wont enjoy that board if your feet are not comfortable.
ROPE!
get a good wake rope if you don't already have one. it should be made from "dyneema" or "spectra." these ropes have little to no stretch. if you have a common cheap ski rope you will lose energy in your riding. think of a rope as a life line to the boat... literally.
