I am sure that everyone is sick of people asking what to buy, but i really need the help, so if you want to give me any suggestions it would be appreciated

I am 6ft tall and 155lbs or so. I have tried wakeskating only once on the hyperlite scape with no shoes, and i am addicted, only i think it would be way more fun with grip and shoes. I do not have hundreds of dollars to spend, but i am willing to pay what it takes for a decent skate.

Any suggestions?

Well kampus makes this grip its like sand. I would not reccomend it though tears up very easily .Get it w/ no grip then go to your skate and buy grip tape and slap it on there.Thats what I would do.

Check out a KAMPUS K39.

I know where you can get one extremely cheap. I got mine for $49.

I love this skate.

Almost all the Kampus skates are very affordable. And I think they ride great. At least for my style. Plus the folks over there are really kewl.
