Boat Speed for Wakeskating

Borrowed my brother-in-law's wakeskate. Now hooked. What boat speed (or range of speeds) is appropriate? I have been using my normal wakeboarding speed of 22. What is everyone else doing??

thanks,

tig

Me and most of my friends go slightly slower than for wakeboarding. For example, I board at 22.5 but I skate at 21. But one of the kids that is really good likes to skate at 23 or 24 for some reason.

Yeah, Reed, he skates faster than I board. I like the 21mph range (I think?)

i ride at the same speed as i wakeboard. if you ride slower, it makes ollies harder to pull and you don't get as much air. But everybody rides what they are comfortable with.
