as my post states in the Newbie Questions section, i am very bad at skateboarding, but as my jet ski does not throw a big enough wake for wakeboarding, do you think that wakeskating would be worth trying??? of course it would take ALOT of practice but would it be worth investing in?

ChrisB, definitely. Wakeskating is very fun, and it is the next closest thing to wakeboarding Cool

Can you get up and ride on a wakeboard alright? If so, you will do fine on a wakeskate. And if you can't, it's just as easy to learn as wakeboarding.

ok thanks for the info. ill do some research into wakeskating tonight,one thing though, please tell me wakeskating requires no serious amount of skill like skateboarding does Sad

and does size matter? im 6ft 217 pounds, pretty lean but not 6 pack abs Cool

... any additional info would be great

you dont need any skateboarding skills although they could help
for size i would recomend a 42-44 inch

it makes some sense, but would a 42" board last me a good while if i still grow? i would like it to atleast last me 1-2 seasons worth.
