Default New to forums and need a new board.

Alright, Ive been wakeboarding for like 2 months now. Ive got a nice 25' Cobalt pulling me throwing about a 2 foot wake. Im using a shorter rope right now to just learn with. I think its like 55 feet or 60, not sure. But ya, I have an Obrian Blunt as my first board. I got it for christmas this year so I just now dropped it into the water. Its an alright board but its a little to big for my weight. Im 5'7 weigh, 145. Im lookin for a board thats gonna have some pop in it due to my smaller wake and I want it lighter so I can maneuver it for grabs and other stuff. What would be a good board and some bindings for about 250 and under? USA Retailers only please.


P.S. I was wondering if the board I have is any good because Ive never looked any stats up for it.

it would be really hard to find a real good board for 250 or under, but if your willing to spend more you should try out hyperlite's byerly or parks there good boards wtih a lot of pop..

Ive decided to go ahead and keep my blunt even though Im right at the weight limit on it. But whats a good set of bindings thats gonna keep me at a resonable price?
