New to boarding. Will start learning next week upon arrival of our new boat. Can you recommend some great beginner boards and bindings that both may be able to share. I have cruised some of the internet sites and am quickly learning all the terms and different styles of boards.

Also, any advice on ropes/handles and instruction would also be great. We bought the detention video, but not too much on it about just starting out.

Also, Dad (me) at 185 lbs will need one eventually. Any ideas for a 43 year old?

Thanks for listening. Look forward to your posts.

Gator makes a bomber board it looks like a b-52 I think its a 124. Its an o;ld double up mold, great all around board.
And for dad I need to know what level you ride and how tall are you? Our best universial board is the ricky G 138 but you might save some money if you can find a 2003 pickett138, it's the same mold different graphics.

Double Up grommet 130 will work for both kids - my kids and most of their friends of similar size have all learned very quick on this board.

We recommend Hyperlite, premier or voyager for the kids. Thats what my kids have always ridden, Hyperlite that is. Tried the others, always preferred the Hyperlite.
