i donno weather i should spend the money to get wakeskate shoes if there is no reason for them. My thoughts are that i wont need them till i start doin flip tricks and all that stuff. but for a while i think that ill just be doin the tipical pop shuv and lip slides. help me out

PS: does drilling holes in reg shoes work?

It's all up to you. I prefer them, but some don't. I just feel like I have more control. You should try with some old shoes before you buy new ones also...

Hey, I'm new to wakeskating...well I haven't tried yet. That's pretty new right! I'm just wondering about the whole shoes thing. You can get a board pretty cheap for starters, but how important are the right shoes? If I use regular tennis shoes, will that work? Or do I need skateboard or wakeboard shoes?

And as far as drilling holes, that's just to let the water drain right? Where do you drill them, in the soles?

Thanks
chips

Wakeboard shoes are really just another word for rip off just get some old skating shoes.

vision135, They don't make wakeboard shoes, those are called bindings Wink

As for wakeskating shoes, I just use a pair of nikes and I do lots of flip tricks, but then again I've never used wakeskate shoes... and I don't own a pair of boardshorts either Confused

regular shoes will work, and yes drilling holes in the soles really does work. no you dont really need skate or wakeskating shoes.
