Kids Wakeboarding Equipment

[Kidder522]

Hey Everyone,

It has been a long winter and I am starting to get pumped about the summer. I have an 8 yr old daughter that is interested in wakeboarding. Does anyone have a idea about what size of equipment she should be on? She weighs about 60 lbs and is fairly tall for her age? Just wanting to get some information before we spend some serious time shopping.

Thanks

Richard

An earlier version of this board served my girls well

Thanks Fellas. I'll be on the lookout for some gear in that range.

To narrow it down further look into the hyperlite Eden 125 or the cwb Bella 124. The equivalent LF board is a great board as well but can be somewhat intimidating due to smaller fins and being much faster on the water.

IMO the hyperlite state and Eden boards are the easiest boards to learn on.

Both my girls have run the CWB for 3 years now and love it. My youngest turns 9 in May.
