I don't think you can wakesurf with a wakeskate. i've seen people wakesurf and they hardly have enough speed to ride w/o the rope when they're on a surf, a wakeskate would be tough.
But the way it's done is you load all your weight onto one side of the boat and drive at about 10 miles per hour, or @ whatever speed the wake is best/biggest at. All the weight forms one side of the wake into a wave that you can ride. Make the rope really short so you can ride right behind the boat, Our rope was only about 20 feet I think. Since youre going so slow you can hold slack in your hand if you want to self-shorten the rope when youre riding. If you feel like you're in the groove and can ride without the handle then you just throw the rope to the person you have sitting on the back of the boat. If you start to slow down and need the handle just motion to the person on the boat who has the handle to throw it back to you.
It's pretty simple, it's way fun to watch because the person is so close to you, you can just talk to them while they're riding. Good luck, but i'd recommend getting a wakesurf, tho, it's gona be real hard w/o one (at least demo one). _________________ signatures are lame |
