What Wakeskate?

I was planning on getting a sattalyte success but I just found out that they wont be ready until august and I don't wan't to wait. I'm not the greatest wakeskater, but I'm trying to learn flip tricks right now ( really hard since I don't skate and the few times i'll touch on I ride the other way Mad

). I weight about 160 and I'm 5'11. I'd like to get a smaller skate because my boat's tiny and has a small wake so all I do is lip tricks, ollies fs/bs 180s, and hopefully soon flip tricks. Does anyone know of a good wakeskate that'd work for me aroun 200-300cad ( hopefully more 200ish).

Also, what's the easiest flip trick to start with?

Thanks for your help

Oaks r nice..... The moon dog is 39 or 40 inches, has a pbt base, and is $210.(i think)

yeah go with an oak. You might want to work on shuv it's and 360 shuvits before you start trying kickflips.

before I was gonna buy the success it was between that and the oak so i'm probably going to get an oak. And with shuvs are easier, bs or fs, I'm equally bad at both!

trust me wait on the sattelyte

no offense unless yuri got a really bad batch his went down the drain fast...the pbt peeled off so fast....where as my pbt on my sattelyte is still thick and going strong only thing wrong with it is its starting to split only from me tightening the fin way too much Sad

but on the other hand I sit here and watch david tear his a new jerk and it's holding up swell?
