A new wakeboard.
Just consider me a newbie when it comes to wakeboarding. I've had a Hyperlite Murray w/ HO orbit bindings for the last 4 years but really haven't been that interested. I started surfing last year and love it. However, this next year I am planning on spending 50/50 time surfing and boarding. I really want to improve my boarding skills. I can get up very easily and ride but thats about it. I thought my board was too short but its a 140 cm and should be OK. I know the technology has came a long way, so would I benefit from a new board?
I was thinking of getting a Slingshot Recoil or Response with SL D2 bindings or the PB bindings. I have read really good things about them. The Response is listed as Intermediate to Advanced with the Recoil being listed as Advanced. However, I have read reviews of the Recoil stating how it would be suitable for beginner to advanced. Being a newb, which one would fit the bill for me and what size to get? I am 5'11" tall and weigh 200lbs (hope to get down to 185lbs ). Thanks
