Hey guys, next week I think im going to try a wakeskate for the first time. What is diferent about it than wakeboarding besides no bindings. and should I know anything before I go out there? If i get up first time I think im just going to through some jumps or some crazy shizzle just for fun . But what should I know? _________________ Liquid Force

its pretty much the same getting up as soon as you get tension on the line until then either hold it , lie back and put your heels on the board or stand on it and then as the slack gets outmake sure you are in position for a deep water start. other than getting up its just a different feel that you get used to and i dont realy think could or should be described. its fun youll enjoy it whether you start lernin shuvits your first time or just carve around. |

i just start from the boat and jump off the side with the rope in one hand and the board in the other, then it catches and pulls my arm off but it's better than scraping my knuckles up. _________________ "...but even if you don't make it, it will only hurt for a minute." |
