Well I am thinking about getting another wakeboard. Any suggestions or does anyone have one for sale?

145cm - 150cm. Adult with bindings size 10-12. Beginner. Weight 200-250lbs. Looking for something reasonably priced.

@J-RAD might be able to help you. He hooked me up with our Slingshot in 21.

I spoke with J-RAD about it a couple years ago. Never really did anything with it. The board is for me personally. I won't get to use it much, maybe a couple few times a year, since I am always the one driving but once in a great while. So I was hoping for something on the cheaper side, even used just so I have it. Not sure whom is going to pull me, since everyone in the boat is adverse to pulling a wake boarder behind the boat.

Didn't put in the Ride Steady yet, since I wasn't sure if we would be keeping the boat (upgrading), or how much we would be using it this year for Wakeboarding, since we have kids graduating and a full summer, at least that is how it looks now. I doubt even if talk the Admiral into it, she would be comfortable just using the throttles to pull a rider up out of the water.

Even is someone wants to loan me a good size board if they are not going to use for a bit, that would be fine as well. Would like to see if I can get people schooled up to pull me.

Figure I would check and see what popped up.

I completely understand, I only got a chance to wakesurf once last year. It's usually just the 2 of us which makes it more difficult. The.misses is doing more with the boat, like backing it down the ramp and driving it some. Going to have her drive the boat a few miles on the HWY sometime this week to give her some experience.
We are are driving to ME in a couple of weeks and it would be nice to her give me a short break here and there, especially on day 2. Drive will be 1200 miles each way.
My son's and their families are flying in so I should get some surfing time in. How much I don't know as this is week 9 since full knee replacement.

I got a factory Yamaha one on clearance a few years back. No idea if its any good or not - good enough for the few times I use it. It's nice in the fact it matches the boat.
 
I’d buy a used one for what you’re talking about and just make sure the bindings are in good shape.
Better quality board for the same money vs some Walmart pos and it doesn’t sound like you need 2023 technology for your riding level.
 
I have one of these that I picked up at Big 5 or somewhere on clearance a few years back.

It seems fine for the limited riding I do and I haven’t had issues with the bindings like the reviewers complain about on here.

We have had a Hyperlight 140 since 2003. My boys were 14, 15 and about 120 lbs at that time. It was a board the 3 of us could ride while not necessarily the right size for any of us.
