my dad use to have a hobbie skate board, i dont know if its the same company or not but i know that they use to be a big skate/surf company back in the day. 
As for how good they are, i dont know. I would assume that they will get the job done for you because you are a beginer but you will eventually need to upgrade and like skiing its not a cheep sport to get into

its definitely not the best wakeboard out there haha.. but it'll get the job done. you can learn on  this board, then once you get a good feel for wakeboarding you can move on up to a hyperlite or liquid force or o'brien or something. did it come with bindings?
