ok i got as few question how much do shoes help and...

what is a good intermeidate board to start learning flip tricks and stuff like that???

please write back

[EvanMolina]

Shoes are pretty necessary if you're going to be riding a board with griptape (as opposed to eva foam), or doing tricks in general. They help with grip, impact, comfort, etc. Any skate shoe will work fine, whether or not it's made for wakeskating. As far as boards go, i recommend trying as many as you can. With so many boards out right now including bilevels, wood concaves, composite decks and compression molded boards, you really have to kind of see what works best for you.

I skateboard for about 13 years but I find out the wakeskate today and I fall in love with this sport, I already know that I'll do it, soon or less.

wow, im suprised, i thought the top comment would be "we meet again 240p"

[claybosco]

what is this song??

[blairandchelsie]

This is just bits of the wakeskate movie sfumato but with worse music.  you just ruined a good old skate DVD. Thomas and the boys would be less than impressed.

@BigRedFreedomXango if you can skydive really good and drive a car amazingly, does that mean you can fly an airplane?

[MrRickGunner]

To continue: A lot of people (myself included) prefer the weight of wet shoes.

I want to say it's debatable that wakeskating is harder than wakeboarding, but that's hardly true in most cases, and is irrelevant at best. The fact of the matter is, they're different, entirely. That being said, being able to wakeboard and skateboard does not magically give you the ability to wakeskate.

Finally, this video is 5 years old. While i'm glad it's had so many views and likely turned a lot of heads (...)

[MrRickGunner]

A few things i'd sort of like to clear up for beginners:

Foam is fine for cruising, but if you're trying to take a progressive experience, you're going to want grip tape. Like most other things in wakeskating though, it's user preference. Neither is really "better" than the other.

You don't need to drill holes in your shoes. Yes, I suppose it would let the water escape quickly, but there really isn't much of a point in draining water out of shoes that are wet anyway, in my opinion. (...)
