wakeboarding is about a million times better. wakeskis have countless limitations.

i just learned how to ride a pair of these last weekend, down at powell.... SO SICK!

i love wake-boarding but i am telling you, if you have even one skiing bone in your body, you will love these more than boarding! they feel so much more like snow skis than water skis. and jumping was so so easy! i was in heaven. it was about as close to mid-summer glacier skiing as i could get in 100 degree + weather. for sure my new water sport.

Can you really jump that easily? Is it easy to do like 3s and stuff?

yeah, its pretty easy! i only had two opportunities to go out on them, and within the first couple minutes or so, i was so comfortable on them i started trying to clear the wake. after that i moved onto spins. and i got 180's down and one 3. they are a little heavy though, maybe thats just because i was using a pair that were way too big for me. I am 5'1 and i was using my friend's skis and he is 6'3. it was so fun though! i quenched my thirst for skiing momentarily.

wakeskis are sick. i don't know if the boots the kid had on them were the best. there was no back seat and i kept washing out super easy.

yea i just tried the stereo's park wakeski behind a mad wakeboard boat with full balasts. the pop you can get out of them is crazy but the landings is weird to get used to if your going from wakeboarding. i washed out a couple times landing pointing towards the boat too much. but they are wicked fun. i wouldnt pay for them though..
