At 6'8" a 43" or 44" would be the way to go. He needs room for a wider stance. And im sure he can spin a 44" as well as a 5'8" guy could spin a 40".
Original, New, Sprocket America, and Virtue all make custom skates. |

I do not think New has an organized team either, but that's not the only way to support riders. Just talk to John, if you're a rider he will be more than willing to help you out with anything he can. _________________ 407-212-7425 |

TKWakeskator, I've got a cousin who right about the same build as you. 6'8 265lbs and a size 16. He never really took wakeskating serious, just loved having fun on it. Crushing around and Getting ejected off the wake, but the only size he could really ride was a 44. Only thing he could really keep his balance with along without having heel/toe drag.
I'm 6'2 190-200 lbs (Jesus I need to get in shape) with a size 13 and I started on a 44 and now I feel most comfortable on a 38/39. _________________ Scuba Steve's Wakeskate Film Libray |
