Default Women's boards

As a brilliant boyfriend, I'm getting my bird a new wakeboard for her birthday. Can anyone make any recommendations? She'll be using it on the cable and boat. She's only just started learning, so can only do a few jumps and 180's. Is there any reason why she shouldn't go for a small bloke’s board??

Any help would be wicked!

Ta.

Cheers... I'll have a look at them. The problem is that ladies' boards often have rubbish graphics i.e. Pink/pale blue with flowers!

My wife seems OK with most of the boards she as used, but it's the bindings that she's a bit fussy with. Hope she dosn't see this years Lady's Pink LF's or thats one pair of Small 04 parks going cheap!

Well worth a PM to UK_Malitia, he's a little vertically challenged, and buys new boards like most of us buy milk.. :lol:

We are the distributors for the 'NEW' range on Wakeboards which to date have not been available in the UK.

Board sizes range for 130 up to 140 so are suitable for the majority of riders.

Board designs are suitable for both boat and cable use.

A full range of Bindings are also available.

PM me if you would like me to send you the 2005 brochure.

Hey

If you look at the Liquid Force stuff the womens boards are just mens boards in smaller sizes with different graphics.

For example the Liquid Force Diva 128 and 134 are just the same as an Evo, the evo even comes in 134 as well. So if your chick prefers the mens graphics then great if she wants some pink or purple girl graphics then great, Liquid Force give you both options.

Also the LF Angel is bascially just the same as a LF Team, you can get the team in a 130 or 134 and also you can get the angel in a 134 or a 130. So again you have 2 choices of graphics "mens or womens".

if you can fork out enough money for the Liquid Force Team / Angel then that board is going to be better for her espically with riding cable. The Evo / Diva is a bit more of a foregiving board so she is not going to slam as hard with it (less tears = good thing, you can ride more), if she is learning the Diva / Evo is the one i think.

Sweet

I also just happen to know a great place to get your board from! www.tantrum.info (cheaky)
