Board and Binding advice.

I'm buying my first wakeboard after trying it out last season and being a natural at it imo, and buying my first boat last weekend.

I used to skateboard so i know size, shape, and brand are sometimes important in terms of how it rides/lasts. But when it comes to wakeboards I'm absolutely clueless. I tried doing research to educate myself but i dont think ill truly know until i get my hands on one and try it out for myself, or ask around like what i'm doing here.

I would like to keep my first set at or under $250, I'm 5'11", 190 lbs, shoe size 11.5

i was interested in this board
Hyperlite - 2006 Motive Bio2 144 - BuyWake.com
and someone told me 141 would be good for about my size.

and these bindings
Liquid Force - Element (5) - BuyWake.com
but 70% of the bindings, including the ones above, only some in xsmall, small, or medium. so i dont know whats up with that, or if anyone has any suggestions on where to get some.

Thanks in advance.

Go with the board that will be just right, spend more on the bindings, if your not comfortable you wont ride well. Go for high end Liquid Force or Hyperlite bindings, and be thankful you pay half the cost that we do in the U.K.
