no its completely impossibe to stay attached, if we were attached then it would be wakeboarding. Come on dude, u should really put more thoughts into your post.

One word - GRAVITY
the same thing that keeps your feet on a skateboard, surfboard, etc. |

the whole part of wakeskating is not being attached to the board. If you were attached to the board, it would be no different than wakeboarding.

I don't think it's just gravity, it's more about friction I think. You, the rider, is getting pulled at 20mph. However, the shoes grip or even your feet, going across whatever surface you have on there, there is a static friction ( I think that's it, kinda forgetting my physics). This friction I think helps you "pull" the board at the same speed with you.
