dont know much about wakeskates themselves, ive riden them a few times and i want to buy one this week. All the ones ive seen are all the same flat bottoms and a simple fin. Are most wakeskates different and what should i be looking for when buying? im around 200 lbs and can wakeboard well.

mattmac115, actually there are several different shapes with different channels, rail shapes and rocker lines... and it's all preference really, there are several great boards out there with completely different shapes.

Some boards you might want to check out...
