go with a 140-143 cm board. If you shop around youll find some really good deals on 08 boards. I honestly dont think there is such a thing as a beginner board. If you can get out of the water, your already intermediate

Get adjustable bindings like these for you big feet.

Re: Wakeboard ?

I bought the biggest board they had at overtons.com. because I weight 205 and am 5'9". It is a good one and think it is a hyperlite? I forget, but stayed away from cheap ones. I got the 2007 model and saved a bunch, and might have paid $250 with bindings. I had tried a older board and just hated it because it had little control. I was amazed how easy it was, but I grew up skiing and skateboarding.
If you find a good used one and you don't like it you might even be able to get your money back reselling it. Just a thought.
