Default Help me pick my board

Ok, so I have been up on a wakeboard, like, twice. But I am going to buy my own this summer and I don't know enough about boards to know what to get. I'm a snowboarder, so I want a board that can cut like a razor, but I also want the board to be fairly forgiving so I don't spend all my time falling down 'cause I catch an edge. I want the board to be as stable as possible on the water. The board I rode last year felt all kinds of slippery - I pretty much felt like it was going to go out from under me any second. Oh yeah, and I really don't care about tricks. It's be cool if the board could be twin tipped so I can just pull little stuff like 180's over the wake, but I'm more into riding than tricks. I don't know, maybe I can't get the combination I'm looking for, but if anyone could recommend anything to me, I would definitely appreciate it. Thanks!
