04 WUD or 05 Scape? (never wakeskated before)

nickdakoolkat

I've been wakeboarding for a while and i want to get into wakeskating and was wondering if anyone had any comments on which of these two boards they would reccomend (04 WUD or 05 Scape), or if anyone has any suggestions on another reasonably priced wakeskate.....thanks

nick, do yourself a favor and stay away from wakeskates that are made by wakeboard companies. If you want a wakeskate that is made by people that actually care about the way their skates ride (cassette, integrity, kampus) instead of how much money they can suck out of our industry (hyperlite, Jstar, obrien, LF), go for a skate from a rider-owned company.

Cassette, Integrity, and Kampus wakeskates are your best choices.

www.cassettewakeskates.com - I recommend the new 4-Trac 41", very stable ride and great pop

www.integrity-wake.com - The new Lemons skate has incredible pop and is VERY durable

www.kampuswakesk8.com - The K39 is the simplest deck on the market and is easy to progress on

nickdakoolkat, i have some expierience with the 04 wud 39. its a good board, and pretty cheap. the only problem i had was that it started to come delamenated after a while but i took it back to the shop and got an 05 faction 40, which is more or less the same as the 04 wud 39. overall good boards to get started on at a good price. but you can get K-39 for around 50 bucks at evogear and off ebay.

I was also thinking about a cassette cuz the board shop near me does carry them........does anyone have any comments on whether or not I should spring for the foam or not?

With grip or foam it's mostly a personal preference, but I prefer grip, as do most people. What cassette do they have?

i ride foam with shoes because what came on the board, howeveri am considering re gripping with grip tape for a more skateboard feel. but foam is good because yu can do it without shoes, and if someone n your boat doesnt fit in your shoes they can still ride it comfortably.
