II tried last season to board with no bindings standing with my bare feet, it worked just fine, execpt when i bailled the screws cut my feet. Should i ride with shoes or just put the money out for a wakeskate?

What screws cut your feet? Did you leave the binding bolts in the board or something?

Defintiely buy a cheap skate if you wanna fool around with it. You need some sort of traction on the top of the deck to do it properly, and you can't get that with a normal wakeboard.

I've only skated a few times but I would think if you want to do any types of tricks it would be tough to control and spin something as heavy as a wakeboard. What kind of board is it? If you are looking to wakeskate and only wakeskate then you could probably sell your board (if it's new enough) and walk away with a nice wakeskate.

No I love to board, and thank you noneya, i was replying to BurkeViper, the screws that cut me are the screws that hold the fins on. I just got bored b/c the water was so choppy we decided to see if we could get up with out bindings, and it worked.

The first board we got is a real cheap-o. The bindings tore up after the first summer, they were the sandal style. So last year we just took them off, put some sex wax in their place and walla! A wakescate. Now we weren't jumping on it from wake to wake but it got us through the summer and was kinda fun. Now I have a real board but we're keeping the scate for experimental stuff. Wink

I agree with everyone go get a cheap board or you could by some Gator Grip and cover your board with it. I bought my first skate for $100 (LF WUD 41) and its a pretty good board to wake skate on and a great board to mess around on and with the foam top no shoes needed and no cuts on feet.

I would say go for the skate..... I have a 03 scape and I love it... so much better than riding a wakeboard without bindings

I am not sure if I am mixed up in saying this, but, if you take the bindings off you can tale the screws off as well and leave the hole cant you?
