Another rookie looking for a board!

[mrwick]

I want to get my family and friends started wakesurfing, so I'm looking for a cheep starter board that will work behind my Glastron GLS 195 bowrider w/ tower. Knowing that the wake is less than impressive behind a sportboat, do you know of any boards that would work for my nephews and myself who all are 6 foot plus tall and 210 to 260 lbs. I would put us at the beginner + wakeboard skill level.

Thanks guys! You have a GREAT site going here!

If you have a sterndrive(I/O) I can not recommend a wakesurf board for you. It is too unsafe.
You must have an inboard boat in order to wakesurf.

So you're saying it's time to trade boats! Thanks wakemitch! This is just the excuse i've been looking for to sell my wife on a new boat! lol Thanks

Besides being unsafe, I believe it is actually illegal to wakesurf behind a sterndrive or outdrive boat.
