well said !!

that wetline board is just a rebadged hyperlite gerry nunn pro model.. it maybe a bit old and past it but i wouldn't say crap. I reckon for the money that will have been paid for it you won't find a better board.. those free motions aren't bad beginner boards i'm told but i have never ridden one so don't hold me to it :P

On the boat topic, where are you boarding? sea or lake? if you are on the sea maybe you will have to compromise on wake and get a maxum or bayliner.. something with a deeper V that can handle some chop. if you are on a lake go right ahead and try to get hold of an oldish mastercraft or Nautique - it may be an idea to talk to 'ancient mariner' on this forum, I believed he paid about 5k for a mastercraft and loves it

thanks for the advice......

after reading your comments, im slighlty concerned about my board :roll:

I had a budget of £150 which is way under a good board range i know, but i didn't think it was worth getting a £300-£400 board to start with.

anyway there were some boards there wjcih had rubbish bindings at he pointed out a better board which had a large rocker - (is that the word for the curve of the board) which he assured me would be easy to get up on and good to get some air. I manahed to haggle with him and got him to a set of nice bindings on whcih are adjustable in size (so my girlfriend and mates can also have a go)

the guy was very reluctant to give it all to me for the price i paid for it -£200 which i thought seemed a bargain and i even got a free video - detention.

I walked away quite pleased with myself but now im not so sure - have i brought a pile of poo? ops:

he told me it was a gerry nunn, it is blue and black in colour.


i wish i had found this site before i brought it!!!!

Don't worry mate -you got a good deal! £200 for a board, bindings and vid is a great deal. I think it has to be remembered that as you are only beginning you only need a basic board.

I know the board and have spoken with some guys about it and none of them have come back to me with negative remarks - i'd stick with it and maybe upgrade in a year or two to something a bit more advanced.

Oh, and where abouts in east sussex are you? im in west sussex and in great need of somewhere consistant to ride. I'm also pretty much a beginner so maybe we might see our paths crossing depending on what set up you get yourself :wink:
Got any ideas where your going to launch from?

Enjoy
