My company does this thing called StayFit that you can use to buy fitness equipment. It includes some pretty interesting stuff like Kinects and shooting club memberships. I just noticed the list also includes wake boards and wake surf boards.

So I have $800 to use or lose by December 31st. My sons are about 90lbs and quickly shooting past 5' tall. I am 6' tall and about 195.

Help me spend my money. :)
 
For $800 you could get 2 high quality intermediate boards, one for each size. I've bought several Hyperlite boards and and you could get two package deals in the middle of their line. If you're unsure size and fit, look for a good local store with people that ride selling the boards, you'll get good advice there. Don't be afraid of last years model either. If they were good last year, they're still good this year.

Another option if you have the space is a SUP, they're pricey, but fun to paddle around on and relax.
 
Slingshot space pickle at activewake.com for $280 and still have $520 for a sweet Ronix at Evo.com outlet store!!
 
Thanks for the help!
