Yeah, there's an indepth interview with jason messer on here that will give you a pretty good idea of early wakeskating (his beginnings are especially interesting, in my opinion). There's a shorter interview with thomas as well. And then there's an article on the first fresh water wakeskate, which I think is cool. Of course, that's not the definitive history of wakeskating (there's more work to be done!), but it's a pretty interesting start, and more than you'll find anywhere else.

but if you have any specific questions beyond that, PM me. I can't forward any articles because I'm on va-cay (that's hawt-type for "vacation") but if you had some specific questions, I could probably help you out in one way or another.

do you procrastinate? I do. It's bad.

bring your board in, that should give you extra credit. Teachers love visual aids. I brought my wakeboard in for an informative speech in english class, and got 5 e.c. points.

lmfao i had to do a speech on wakeskating as well earlier this year to my class. it was a grade 11 class but a speech is a speech lmfao. i started about tellling what it is and what u use and all that, then talk more about how its evolving and technicality of the tricks these days and just why i enjoy it.
