donut - got my last one from rage water sports mail-order .... from Guernsey

I got my board from a friend of a friend - so can't advise on that.

Got a couple of donut type things last year from www.boatworld.co.uk

Good service and had quite a range of other bits that emptied my wallet ! - Infaltable fenders / de-salt fluid etc. You'll want to also get a suitable toys tow line plus a 12v inflator and deflator

Used a flat ring cover donut (Buster) for the kids (8 & 6yrs) but a little too bumpy for them on the sea as they got bounced in the air off the deck of the donut too easily. Also got a "Racer 30" which can be more 'sat in' for a gentler ride if required and that was better for them on the sea but it is quite big & heavy to manhandle once wet as it doesn't drain the water out as easily as the donut.

A wakeboard will be as much again for the bindings - you'll need to try some on I think - my first set of bindings struggled with size 10 feet and the velcro wrap over one size fits all set I replaced them with just don't feel as secure though !

And is Wakeboarding easy ?

You need to check with Nauti's g/f Sarah (pm NautiBuoy) who is a top class wakeboarder

I Looked at that. I thought E bay was supposed to be cheap though. He's charging dealer prices.

I've got my eyes on a cheap wakeboard which should do my son and his friends. I'll post my results if the deal comes off.

Would like to know if theres some sort of attachment to fit one to the A Frame though.

He IS a dealer. To be honest you often pay less for new than you do s/h these days!!!

Hi Nick,

When I used to own your rib I asked Ribcraft the same question and yes there is and they can weld on a high tow point to the A-Frame, however they also said I would need to strengthen the bolt arrangement on the deck which they could sort at the same time so may well be worth a chat with them.

Richard,

Thanks for that. One for the future with regards reinforcing the A Frame but I'll speak to them about the wakeboard holder.

Nick.
