So I have been wakeskating for about 3 weekends now, and have done a total of 7 runs, so yesterday, i was out just doing my thing, and practicing ollieing inside to the outside of the wake and vice versa. and my bros were in the boat and they were like " do a pop shuvit!" so i was like, okay lets try one, so about 5 attempts later i landed it, i was so stoked! I tried it again, as my run was comeing to and end, and landed both feet, but they were too far off the edge of the board and i got dragged down.

My queston is: what are some good shoes to buy and what are the prices out there right now?, i live in canada so, if you give me a us price i can convert it np. thanks!

There a lot of good wakeskate shoe brands out there, and most shoes run around 60 and 70 US dollars. but if youre broke like me, a good alternative would be to just get some of your old skate shoes and take a drill and drill 10 or more holes in the bottom of them. They dont dry as quick as real wakeskate shoes, but they do the job!

Congrats on landing the shuvit. Good to see more people getting into the sport.

i have Reef byerlys (about 70$), they are awsome, but alotta people like DVS Dresdens i think about the same maybe 65$. but either would be fine. oh and Kampus has some ive only heard good things about, check there site out.
