Which Wake surfer?

    Steve,

   It probably would depend on how serious you want to get.I am about 5'11',185lbs and I use an O'brien Alias 5.0' board.It's basically a beginner/recreational board and was a cheap way to get into it.I think it was about $200. I'm pretty sure the shorter boards are better for experienced riders who tend to do more tricks while the boards in the 5 ft.length are more suited to bigger people and rookies.The board I have is veryeasy to ride.I had never surfed in my life(ocean or wake) until this summer,and I was following my boat across the lake without the rope in less than an hour.I have seen a few people post on here that appear to be more experienced than me so hopefully they will chime in.

I have the Red Tide, older version of red woody, and it is a good board. It will allow you ride smaller wakes, less weight needed in the boat, and helps with the heaveier people. It was harder to learn to ride then the Broadcast that we have but a lot more fun once you get the hang of it.
