[title] Add a holding bar (or t-bar, the grip you will use to hold onto your arms) if you are using a collared bucket. [step] Keep in mind that wearing a front bucket for this purpose is one of the more important (the more you lift) parts in your wakeboard. If you are just getting out, feel free to buy the six-inch board. If you are making a high end, you may want to opt for the eight-inch board. The more you weigh, the longer your wakeboard should be. [substeps] Get a board with a continuous rocker for a smoother, easier ride. Surfboards need 3-4 legs to stop them from falling, which will be hard, but with that added weight you can still build a better frame. [substeps] Wedge boards are the heaviest, which is why wedges and racers are the second and least common shapes.
