Default 8 yr old wants to learn to wake board

Hi I was wondering do they make boards and binding for very small kids my daughter wants to wake board but she is very petite and probably weighs 50lbs soaking wet. I also want to start wake boarding but I know the board I get won't fit her.

Thanks,
Mike

Most companies have kid size boards. 119-125 cm area.
Have a look on the www.wakeworld.com board guide.

Inexpensive, but decent: Hydroslide Renegade (121 cm) $139. I have a demo that can be shipped at that price (factory blemish). This includes bindings.

Higher End Mfgr: Blindside 5-O/Flower/Grinder or Double Up Grommet about $300 or so. Can ship at that price. Comes with bindings.

Big up to the little ones, start em young thats all i can say. you'll have a bonifay/bonifayetta on your hands in no time.

but as the guys are saying go for the small boards, they will get a few years use before they hit the growth spurts. so worth buying one
