I know you can on a wakeboard so I don't see why it can't be done on a wakeskate.

starting out backwards isnt that difficult you just point your board forward as soon as the boat starts to pull you.. but getting up and planing perpendicularly with both hands behind your back would be difficult i think, considering the way you use your weight when getting up and the way some joints bend.
