Depends on speed and water condition. When its glassy out, I tend to ride around 22 at 75 feet, when it gets rougher out, I take it around 20-21 at 70 feet.

B-rad, kinda fast for a skate, huh?

ogopogo, that sounds more like Randy Harris on a wakeboard...

for wakeskating, anywhere from 19-22
closer to 19 for doing smaller tricks in the flats, and closer to 22 for anything using the wake
