Ive had the wakeboard for about 3 years. Ive only used it maybe 20 times at most. the wakeboard is in great shape besides two little marks on the side. Price is $250 obo. no low balling ![http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/depew%20car%20show/depewhighschoolcarshow002.jpg](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/depew%20car%20show/depewhighschoolcarshow002.jpg) ![http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/depew%20car%20show/depewhighschoolcarshow005.jpg](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/depew%20car%20show/depewhighschoolcarshow005.jpg) ![http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/depew%20car%20show/depewhighschoolcarshow006.jpg](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/depew%20car%20show/depewhighschoolcarshow006.jpg) ![http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/depew%20car%20show/depewhighschoolcarshow007.jpg](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/depew%20car%20show/depewhighschoolcarshow007.jpg) ![http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/depew%20car%20show/depewhighschoolcarshow009.jpg](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e96/boarding087/depew%20car%20show/depewhighschoolcarshow009.jpg) ---

For those who are not aware, a wakeboard is like a snowboard on the water. If you have ever watched the x games, you would see people doing flips and other tricks behind the boat, riding sideways. ---

These things aren’t one size fits all. Some measurements might help. How many cm the board is, binding size? ---

sorry sir. its a 142 size, and I will check on my break but its a large binding, they come in xs, s, m, l, xl. might possibly be xl. i have a size 11 shoe, they fit me good perfect, I have had a friend with size 13 with his foot inside, but it was starting to get a little tight. keep in mind you want a tight fit so your feet dont fly out of them if you fall. Also these go on much easier when wet! ---

Good board for the big guys like me. 🙂 [http://www.sportsoutletusa.com/wakeboard\_specs.php](http://www.sportsoutletusa.com/wakeboard_specs.php) Any idea what skill it’s aimed at? I’m riding an intermediate to advanced board right now, spent about $400 from 321 in Lockport a few years ago. ---

honestly, I use to look more into this, I want to say its an intermediate. I loved how it felt on the water though, just sucks that my parents sold our boat and got a 25’ pontoon boat, no wake behind that big beast. great pop on the wakes and a very very comfy binding! as you can see in the pictures, they are not fixed fins, they can be removed/replace with small or just removed in general. as is, it has great response for turning/cutting towards the wake. I really didnt get to much into it, because I never had a boat with a rack on the top, which is very handy for wakeboarding. ---

PS… keep a water bottle with a mixture of dish soap and water in the boat. Squirt your feet and the bindings and it makes getting the bindings on SOOOOOO much easier. Can’t believe I didn’t learn that trick for at least a year. Yet another thing in life that is better with lube. 🙂 ---

I knew about that but was to lazy to mix it up. i usually just dunked it in the water then put it on the swim deck and slid my feet in. ---

i paid about 350$ before tax. like i said, i really haven’t used it that much. edit: by the way, I am only about 160lbs. yes a very light person. but this board worked pretty damn good for me! edit: yeah I was off, the bindings are XXL. ---

If anyone is interested and wants to try it out and has a boat, let me know. I am willing to take the day and go for a boat ride and try to help out with anything i can for trying this out. (beginner or not) I do not have the boat to try this on, so asking me to take you out and teach you on mine will not work. this is one hell of a fun time when you learn to ride, much better than water skiing. ---

A 142 seems pretty big for a 160lb person. I just bought a 137 O’brien, and I’m about the same size. Nice board though :tup: ---

thanks. I’m going to miss it. It’s my snowboarding in summer, just wish i had the fucking boat to use this with. I really would rather not sell it, but its just been sitting around for the past 2 years not being used at all. I never had any problems with the board at all, like the size. ---

only thing that sucks with wakeboarding, choppy water. you need somewhat calm water for a fun time. choppy sorta sucks because its ruff on your legs and hard to try and pull anything off ---
