Default Just Bought A Board

It's an Obrien Style 140. I've never gone wakeboarding but have always wanted to. Im 15 and weigh about 125........should i use the fins or not?? I have a Key Largo boat with a 90 horse outboard yamaha....do i need a tower?? we go tubing and the boat has no problem flipping us over, we have a rope on a pully thats like 5 feet long and we connect the long rope to that.....can i use that for wakeboarding???? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Mike

I would leave the fins in for a sort while until you get used to riding as they will help the board to track straight.
Your 90 horse is plenty to wakeboard with and whilst a tower or a pole would help it’s not essential.
Have fun.
