Default new at the sport

I'm very interested and excited to learn about wakeboarding, I want information on the size of board to buy, one is for wife she's 5'3 and I am 6'3 is there different sizes or can we use the same board? We own a sl750 jetski which we pulled people skiing before is it good enough for wake? Just give us some basic info we need to know we know nothing of the sport but really want to learn for next year tks

The size of the board also depends on weight. You would not be able to use the same board, you could try but.... I am 5.4 and weigh nine and a half stone i use a 133. I am estimating your wife would need around the same and you maybe a 141, but again depends on weight. I am not sure about jetski's but I know that most people say that are not that good for wakeboarding.

I've been riding behind a jetski all season (800cc) and i found that i learned the basics very quickly because of the small wake. If you want any air behind a jetski you HAVE to approach it properly. You can learn switch riding, ollies, 180 jumps, good carving technique etc. Most of all, enjoy yourself. Good Luck.
