I have plans to try wakeskating. I've always wanted to wakeboard but my feet are outrageuosly huge so I can't fit into anyones bindings. Wakeskating is the logical choice.

im taking a guess at this, wakeskating is like wakeboarding just without you're feet strapped to the board, correct me if i'm wrong?

no, its not skimboarding. its a wakeboard without bindings but with griptape. you wear shoes. you can do flip tricks and shit if you get really good.

I wakeskate. IT is a nice break from wakeboarding sometimes. IT sucks when yor backfoot slips off and your balls get seperated. My best trick is a shuv-it.

I tried wakeskating, but my knees got screwed up from falling. Wake surfing is fun too, but overall I'd stick with wakeboarding. Flips are fun.

ya freeskifro i was wakeboarding yesterday in xlarge bindings, and it took 4 people and 5 mins to get my feet out...so i either need to find some xxl bindings, or i need to take up wakeskating.

lanks...if you use the bindings enough, they'll stretch. Or, you can actually loosen most bindings by taking out the screws and putting them through different holes.

use a bar of soap, anyone who knows the deal knows you don't need the expensive lube shit made by ski companies.

suave shampoo works really well, plus it's biodegradable (water safe) and cheap.

I get newt juice and shark spray for free, so I just use that, but shampoo works just as well.

Wakeboarding and expically wakeskating look like way to much of a hassle to get good at. Cause you need a boat, some one to drive it, gas... and everytime you fall they have to loop alllll the way around.
