Default Hi and help

Hey all,
firstly im new to the forums so hello.

Need some help ive always wanted to start wakeboarding but never seen much point as we have never had our own boat or anything. My family has just bought a jet ski so my first question is could i wakeboard behind a jet ski???

Secondly could anyone recomend a good starter board for me?? im a student so cheapish would help please.

Lastly theres a wakeboard school where i go on holiday in summer and where i would be wakeboarding. Would it be useful to have some lessons there first just to give me the basics to practise on???

Thanks to anyone who replies. See you all on the forums/water!

hi, i started of behind a jetski, its fine to learn on but you`ll soon get bored cos there`s no wake on a ski,A hyperlite motive is a cheap and good beginner board and lessons are always a good idea!

Welcome,
Loads of people wakeboard behind a jetski, you are limited on height of wake but it is still good fun. Post your height & weight & we can marry up a board package size for you.
regards

Lesley

Any board will do you man. Just buy the cheapest you can find. Size around 135 to 138.
