If you are a beginner I would spend no more than 350$ on a wakeboard. Get either a liquid force or hyperlite. Just a basic simple model. The length of the board depends on the weight of the rider.
Rider Weight (lbs) Wakeboard Length (cm)
<100
<130
90-150
130-134
130-180
135-139
170-250
140-144
200-275+
>144
I would say a 132-136 would be the average size board. It isn't so important that the size is exact for beginners. Now getting a pair of bindings that will fit everyone is the hard part. I would just goto a store that sells wakeboards and try them on.
Do you have to be good at swimming to go wakeboarding?
No not really you will probably have a lifejacket on so all you have to know is the basic.
Hope this helps
