    Wanted: 119-122cm wakeboard for my kids

    As the title says, I'm looking for a small (119-122cm) wakeboard and bindings for my kids to learn on. I can't see buying them a new board as they haven't tried it on the water yet. This will be a Christmas present for them, so there is plenty of time for your kids to finish the season.

    I have a Body Glove "splat" with six removable fins I might sell. IIRC it is 122 and both my kids learned on it. It is very forgiving and has rounded ends.

    For beginners, I put all three fins on the back and leave all three off the front. It gives more "bite" in the back and lowers the chance of them catching fins in the front. That makes learning boardslides pretty easy because they have to work to bring the back around and if things go wrong, it self corrects. They don't get surprised when/if the front fins catch.

    Next time I'm at storage, I'll look to make sure it is a condition I'm proud to sell.

        I forgot to post the video link. I've since turned the bindings over so you can read the "Body Glove" when they are waiting for the start as opposed to upside down.

          Thanks for the video. Any idea on what size the bindings adjust to? I've got one who is a size 4ish and one a size 8. Also any idea on a price?
