im new to wakeskating, though ive been wakeboarding for 3 years, and skateboarding for 2 years. i really wanted to do something that is a mix between skating and wakeboarding. then i found wakeskating. i am only going to wakeskate 3 or 4 times a year, with 3 days each time i go. so i dont want a 300 dollar wakeskateboard that i wont use. so this is what im thinking.

Hyperlite Scape 116 (im 6'0" 155lbs)
Adio Quest Wakeskate Shoes
The Book Wakeskating- Wakeskate Basics Video

so wat do u think?

jheinz92, DO NOT get a 116 scape.
that board is a beast. its 46 inches long. the most common wakeskate size is 41 inches. i would suggest a 41 inch board for height and weight. i got suckered into buying a 116 scape for my first board and it was way too big after a while of riding it. just get a 41 inch flat deck.
