    I only have the board they threw in with the deal at this time. It is a 5'4" Hyperlite Broadcast. My salesman recommended it, but I'm not convinced it is good to learn on. I really look forward to trying something new next year. But then again, this is our first surf boat and we've never even been in one prior to this. Sorry for the late reply!

    Dude if you have a surf boat, you need a surf board. The broadcast is a great board to have on the boat for random people to learn to stand on and mess around with but that's about it. You need to get on a board that fits your style and frame. I think most people would agree with me that the right board is a game changer. The downside to our sport is how hard it is to demo a variety.

    Like I said, I am completely new to the sport. Not new to the water, but the whole wakeboarding and wakesurfing scene. What do you think would be a good board for me to try jtatexc?

    My thought would be see if you can try out some different style and see first and foremost if you would enjoy a surf or skim style or even a hybrid that is a blend of both. Then you really have to look at budget. You get a great board in the 500 to 600 range but easily go up from there. At first I was not into the idea of a hand shaped board like a doomswell, soulcraft, or the others but after riding I tell you they are the cats meow! You'll be fine to start your season on the broadcast next year but just plan on the fact you'll grow out of it quick. With your size you're gonna want to try a few shapes and makes out but I am sure you'll find something that will blow your hair back.

    We put all our beginners on a phase 5 oogle. The board is relatively maneuverable and tracks well. It's good for beginners because it isn't crazy squirrely and it's almost impossible to dunk the nose.
