Is it possible to wakesurf with an old hydroslide kneeboard? Ive been trying to do it for a while but I cant surf without the rope. Ive never surfed at all but I know that you move your weight forward to go faster, well Ive gotten so far forward on the board that the nose sank. I think our wake is plenty big, its comparable to other pictures Ive seen of wakesurf wakes. I ride behind a wakesetter with the wedge down, 500 lbs in the ski locker, and 4 or 5 people on the side of the boat. I dont want to blame it on the board just because I cant do it but Im starting to think that must be the problem.
