I have a wakeboard and waterskis but I am thinking about buying a pair of wakeskis sometime soon, but I am not 100% sure because I can aleready wakeboard and waterski, but is wakeskiing much different from waterskiing? If not, should i still spend my money on a pair of wakeskis? Or should I just stick to wakeboarding? Thanks.

if you have a wakeboard specific boat like a malibu or moomba that makes a big wake get a wakesurfer, they are so much fun

whats the difference between wakeski and waterski? is it like wakesurfing where your right behind the boat but on skis?


waterskiing is so much fun though, especially on one ski.

I just tried wakeskating for the first time on tuesday and it is a blast...it blows waterskiing and wakeboarding out of the water (pun!) and really isnt that hard to pick up on.

wakeboarding, or wakeskating. wakesurfing is probably the most pussy thing ever and ruins calm water for the other boaters trying to do real water sports that require skill and have consequence.

Wakeskate or wakesurf.  I grew up slaloming and wakeboarding but after trying wakeskating once I was hooked, it is so much fun and the tricks you can learn are endless.  Wakesurfing is super fun I just don't have a boat you can do it on all the time.

thats the beauty of wakesurfing you can go out in the middle of the day when there is no calm water and just chill without having to worry about getting fucked up

Wakeboarding is ill. Wakeskiing looks like a good way to blow a knee.

Of anything start kiteboarding, shits the coolest.

if you live close to a cable park which i doubt you do than you should just stick to wakeboarding, wakeskis are pretty fun on rails but wakeboarding behind a boat kicks the shit out of wakeskiing

you should go out one day, and wakeboard and wakeski so you can compare what you like better,  then decide. from my experience, you should wakeboard.

freestyle waterskiing has been around for generations dude. it was called trick skiing i guess back in the day.

i demoed the new ho wake skis about a month back... not gonna lie. its super hard. its like skiing on two banana peels. they slide out from under your feet super easy... i rode them for about 20 minutes and felt some progression tried jumping the wake a few times and due to my very limited water sports experience i found it hard to clear the wake and only landed once.

and when you fall, it feels like your breaking your ankles every single time. from my experience go with wake surfing... super fun, super low impact, and really chill. who wants to beat themselves up in the off season from real skiing anyway.
