indo board for wakeskating practice?

I'm having a question on which indo board I should get to help me with wakeskating in the off season. I'm looking at the original pack that includes the little balance cushion too. I was wondering if maybe the pro would be a better model for a wakeskate feel? I'm not going to spend the money to get the kicktail deck when I can just use one of my old skate decks.

What would you guys recommend that use indo boards? The pro or the original? And do you guys have any experience with the cushion if it would be good for wakeskating balance/muscles? I also plan to use an old skate deck on the roller some too.

I followed Jeff's idea, and took a 2liter bottle filled it with water and taped it with duck tape and use my wakeskate on it or a skate deck. Alot cheaper than buying their roller.

Recently i've been taping some of my indo boarding and hope to put out a little video of it, but i wanna have a couple 3 shuvs on there. I've got the shuvs down tho.

crispy, you'd be suprised, I had my 270 lb friend on mine, and the board broke, but i'm still using the bottle.

since December i've only gone through 2 bottles, but i'm guessing this one i'm on is going to go soon.

Kay-Kay, another great idea. i bet that would work great with a skateboard deck. schedule 40 or 80 (thick walled) would never crack or break.

trampolines are an awesome way to get by in the off season

Wow Jeff thats sweet. Any footage? I don't really like using PVC, its too hard. I find there's no give to it, I prefer water.

I use a old skateboard deck, and a thick piece of PVC pipe wrapped with thin rubber. Tons of fun.
