i think tis a nice idea, but in practice i think it looks pretty wierd. i'd like to give it a go, but i think unlike snowboarding, any ski substitute like rollerskis or wakeskis just don't work as well as wake or skateboard...

also, what about the double true nose tha every newschooler and his dog are doing? can't really see how that'd work...

Hmm would be nice for a try. But as some said it has not that potential as snowboarding has outside the mountains!

it reminds me too much of snowblading. i think ti would be hard to get good skiing style on those.

i have a pair of twin tipped water skis. theyre like 25 years old and have no fins or anything. they're actually pretty fun to ride, but u dont really have much control. those look sweet, cuz you can actually cut on them. but wakeboarding will always be fun.

^and of course the style wont be the same as skiing, itll have its own style

I really love wakeboarding, but those things look sick. because riding switch on regular waterskis really hurts.
