New Member Introduction
Hey Guys and Gals........
I just wanted to take a quick second and introduce myself. I am new to Moomba, and the moomba boards. I am 37 years old, married, and I have 2 kids ages 5 & 6. I grew-up with Mastercraft Prostar 190s, learning to barefoot, slalom, and just a little wakeboarding. (that was back in the days when the wakeboarding was just becoming popular) I figured that it was time to get rid of the pontoon, and get a boat for the kids.
I just purchased this boat the day before yesterday. It is a 2007 Mobius LSV, it has 70hrs, and the pictures just don't do the color justice. It is black and sandstone and looks absolutely FANTABULOUS. The best part is.........I got an UNBELIEVABLE deal on it.
We have basically no gear other than a tube, and a double-high wrap slalom ski from the '80s. Any advice on gear or anything else would be greatly appreciated.
Jason
(sorry, this is my blackberry picture, and I haven't gotten a better one yet)

Hey man welcome to the family. Your gonna love that boat.
Equipment, what you looking for. Stuff to start the kids? Some surfing? Let us know, there are no shortage of hooked up guys here.
Second where you located, might help for some local hook ups.

Also give Grizzly Sports a shot if you don't see deals on gear you want. They have a store on ebay or you can call and they'll straight hook you up. Customer Svc is top notch as well.

I found a great Liquid Force board that my wife and 9 yr old son both use on craigs list. Found a good surf board here on these boards, but never count out Ebay!
