I learned how to wakeskate this summer and 'skated on Sun and today. Now that I can get up and cut across the wake. I want to try a surface 180, is it the same concept as when you're on a wakeboard?

Slow the boat down and try them in the wash at first. If you can slide the lip on a wakeboard its te same on the skate, you just have to push your knees forward more.

also, make sure it's a fluid movement, don't hesitate

you definately can't lean into it like you can a a wakeboard. You have to keep your weight over the board, definately not behind it!

So my weight should be 50/50 on the board?

i think it's easier with your fins off plus riding with no fins on a wakeskate gives u so much more control on a wakeboard i feel.
