Wakeskating

[general]

Im really interested in a wakeskate board since i went to a cable park and they were all on them, is there any one out there who rides then and got any good and bad reviews?
also, wheres a good place to order them over the net.

Hey General,

Welcome to losethestraps! Love the signature I think you are the second Aussie here. Cool! One day I am going to get over there to ride.

Check out the information on the wakeskate that sflinux is building:

Hopefully, he will pop on the board in the next few days and give you his feedback. Also, he was mentioning that he was going to post pictures of his new wakeskate, and possibly how to build it.

Cheers for that,

Yeah you gotta get here best place for kiting cause we have all the wind

OWC is all into wakeskates and sliders...u boys at Rixen too? My only concern is upwind ability.

I have been riding a Hyperlite wakeskate for about a year. It is kinda small and tons of rocker and weight. I only ride it when I am super lit like 7m conditions or if I am riding in this super butter spot we have where the current cranks against the wind at like 11 knots....crazy.

I have seen a couple that have less rocker and they seem more kite-friendly. Alvero Oniva had a pretty nice one(custom) but it looked too light...anytime you get air/ollie the thing would fly away.

i think a happy medium between weight and rocker would be the ticket.

I'll post up some pics when I home.

ROFL - OK when Todd and I roll out to see you boys out West don't be holding out on this spot.

We need an underground exposee on this spot. Post some photos, but nothing too revealing so that it's easy to recognize. In the meantime, I'm going to put out the feelers to see where this place is!! enjoy

No pics of this place....it would give it away for sure. But hit me or chanson up when you make the trip out, there is no other spot like this one in the world.

LOL - We understand.... You will be getting PM when we head your way.
