OK OK if you know anyone that is bigger then me and can get up and do shovits, and clear the wake and 180's call them up to go wakeskate, I am 6'8 but it is that time to get a new wakeskate, my new 41 Pastura has seen it's better days and I am looking for a 43 or a 44 for my big man syndrome so if anyone has shaq's number call him up and tell him to go out on the boat! All of the other wakeskate companies make a 41 but it is too small haha, help me out! Very Happy

I'd rather buy a skate from a company that has a team and somehow supports riders - not New.

Whoa Jake S where do you get your information from?

i've never seen a New team, is there one? I really don't want to be a jerk here. Confused

Jake S,
New sells a great board that last twice as long for half that price? sounds like they are supporting riders my not killing their wallet...

well put. my bad Confused

it would be cool if they put together a team, there are plenty of good riders out there (not me..) and their decks look amazing

would that be a good first wakeskate?
i want to buy a new so bad
but that seems legit and the texas toast is in the 350... in amazon they sell anthems and factions for that price... is that much difference? for a n00b
wich of the news is the most like a remote? does the slaysh can compare?

Ask Virtue to make one for you! I'm sure he'd work with you man, he's chill and it says "custom sizes available"...not expensive either. I have one and I love it. Smile

TKWakeskator: are you very heavy at that height? cuz if you're a bean pole i'd probably go with like a 42", cuz the longer they get the harder its gonna be to spin that puppy. and if you've riden a 41" in the past i dont know if i'd jump to a 44". but thats just my opinion. i weigh 210 at 6'4" and ride anything between 39 to 41 but even 42 feels to big for me.
peligro18: New is a much much better skate than an anthem or faction. im always a fan of not giving crappy stuff to new riders. i feel like just starting them on decent stuff is how they will catch on then progress much faster. again, thats my opinion. there it be...
