I already wakeboard but I kinda want to get into winch wakeskating. I have been looking for some boards but I dont know much of anything. Do I want grip tape or foam? I need help big time.

I'm about 5'6" and weigh around 135. I want to get the best board for winch skating but also one I can use behind the boat to screw around with. Thanks for the help!

PS. I know I sound very stupid and noobish but just help me out this time please

There's no board made for winching. I'd suggest a NEW, Oak, or Devotid. It all depends on how much cash you have and much you want to get into the sport. But overall I'd suggest selling your strapping gear and get a skate cause once you try wakeskating you wont use your wakeboard anymore.

Look at other or older threads there are quite a few. Yes wakeskating isn't just screwing around its about good vibes having fun and putting wakeboarding to sleep
