Board Length Info

[Weil Thing]

Hey all, need some advice. My aunt is looking to buy a wakeboard for her 14 year old, approx 145 lbs, but still growing, so she doesn't want to sink a lot of money into it. First, what length board do you think she would need for a beginner to intermediate boarder, and second, might anyone have a board (with bindings) their child has outgrown that they would want to sell?

Thanks!

how tall? I learned at about that weight, and I used a 138. It was fine on size, and I still could use it about 50 pounds later. Although, that being said, I prefer a bigger board now

i would say in the 135/136 range. keep an eye on boardersbestbuy.com. over the last few weeks he could have put together a nice set up for about $250 wich for new is a pretty good deal. also check over on wakeworld i just got a nice used setup for my wife there last week. they list stuff there everyday.
