i suck at skimboarding, one thing i would be careful of is u can take gashes out of your skin boards if you come across a sharp shell, so you could probably do the same to ur skate _________________ ow thats gonna hurt tomorrow

I dont think it would work very well. I went skim boarding yesterday, and it doesnt seem that a wakeskate would work because it isnt flat.
Im ok at skimboarding, and im pretty sure that you skimboard right when the water is really shallow and when the wave is going out. _________________ "I knew those girls were pros, but don't tell Turtle, it'll break his heart." - Drama, Entourage |

you can kickflip a skimboard?! Who are you, Rodney Mullen?
I don't think you could really skimboard in its purest form on a wakeskate, seeing as how it would be too heavy.

it won't work. the rocker on the skate throws it off. skim boards are flat to get as much surface area to glide on the water. on the skate, you'll sink like a brick and get some nice strawberries from the sand. |

a wakeskate is way to think and heavey, and STPHNSN23 is right, the rocker would through it off. _________________ Good Times
