First board for big riders ?

Been waterskiing & kneeboarding for years, now think it’s time to buy a wakeboard.

Could do with some help on choice …
Users will be between 210 and 240Lb

Use will be in-shore, so rarely flat calm. We ain’t teenagers, so not going to get particularly aerial, but we are pretty aggressive on skis & kneeboards.
I know some of the things that I should look for –

Single tip board
Square-railed
Low rocker
Large fin – sharp, deep.

Can you recommend a board (assume I would go for the largest size) and bindings .. they need to be reasonably adjustable due to different users, but all ‘large feet’

If you like that board I have one like it- http://www.wakeworld.com/boardguide/getboard6.asp?ProductID=2565 I'd sell reasonably. It was too big for me (6'0" 200#)

A CWB Sol 141. Perfect for bigger riders, and also has very large fins for some locked in traction. If you are interested I have a 2006 that I will sell for $125- it was used twice by my little sister, but somehow she managed to ding 2 of the edges(could fix easily with epoxy).
