Hi, i´ve never done wakeboarding but my brother and I practice
with a quad towing a snowboard on the shore,we got really into it but
I want to try wakeboarding.

My questions are:
1-can I practice wakeboard with a jetski and what type you recomend me models, horse power etc..?

I,ve heard not, because the rope is to low and I can only practice wakeskate.

2-what is the difference between wakeboarding and wakeskate?
3-can i do high jumps with a wakeskate?

You can wakeboard behind just about anything with enough horsepower.
A jetski will slide from side to side. Usually jetskis are used for wakeskating.
Wakeskating is wakeboarding without bindings, basically.
Some company just came out with a wakeskate jetski.

1. Yes, if it has enough horsepower it can get you up, it's all in the technique (spelling?)

wakeskating is done alot behind jetski's because they don't like big wakes (sometimes)

CP3 has it right, wakeskating is wakeboarding without the bindings, and the boards are slightly (actually very) differnet

Generally, wakeskaters don't go as high but it's a pretty amazing sport in itself

What's your first langage... I really hope it's not english

Having fun is really all that matters

charlierun, yo recomiendo un barco pequeno si tu no tienes mucho dinero. Puedes practicar en el wakeskate o en el wakeboard dentras de cualesquiero barco que tiene bastante hp. Recomiendo 50 hp o mas. El wakeboard tiene "cargadores" en el tablero, y no estas unido a el wakeskate. Puedes saltar en el wakeskate, pero es dificil saltar alto.



no encuentro una palabra por "wakeboard" o "wakeskate"
