Hey guys,

I've been lurking these forums for a month or so now, reading up on wakeskating and such. I'm just starting this year, though I've been wakeboarding for a couple years. I only have long island sound to ride on over here, no good lakes, so its a little choppy but I deal lol. Like i said, just wanted to say hey and introduce myself, and I'll let you know on my progress as soon as I start gettin out there!

thanks for not making your first post about fins vs no fins, or wood vs composite, or grip vs foam...

welcome to the madhouse.

hey scarzie...I'm the new kid too. I don't know about fins, but I'd sure like to know if I should ride foam or grip.

Hey everyone,

I'm also new here to forums, i've started wakeskating a year ago on a crappy skate called the butterboard. I'm from the deville area in Lousiana and all i skate behind is bass boats in the swamp, dodging cypress trees and their knees (i'm shure you cajun people know what i'm talkin about). I started out wakeboardin about 3 years ago and well you can't really do anything behind a bass boat so i figured I buy a wakeskate. I just recently bought an 06 bylery. neways when i started wake boardin and wakeskatin i was surprised on how the the sport is growing and all the people i have met through it. So keep it up!

search, from waht ive gathered on the forums is that grip > foam. Also, when i said fins i was J/k'in, what ive got about fins is like what double down said, either start without them or start with them and lose them, i think without them makes it easier for tricks, surface tricks at least (i think)
