 Posted: Jun 14, 2004 9:40 am Post subject: Any suggestions on a new deck for a beginner? |
 |
|
I'm ready to add a wakeskate to my boat and I'm wondering which deck and what length I should use. I'm 6'3 225 and an intermediate wakeboarder. I don’t want to bother with shoes so a few people have suggested a foam top board instead of one with grip tape. Any suggestions?

hey! ridin barefoot is fun. but i do suggest getting shoes yo! cause u can screw a foot up if u hit it on the wood. plus its impossible to do any tricks without wearing shoes because u cant get the right amount of grip.

| i like the cassette flat decks but they make your feet drag. id try a K41 or a liquid force im not sure how skinny the LFs are. and definetly get grip and shoes, the cheap fifty dollar jetpilot shoes http://www.skilimited.com/product.ASP?wc=true&clickpath=&base_no=4JP-HS&str_base_no=3CO-LWS,4CO-RWS,3HO-CWS,4JP-HS,4LF-CWS,4LF-IS,3LF-LCW,4LF-SK,4OB-TWS,4BW-SWV,&header_title=%2DWakeskates+%26+Wakesurfers&page_name=prod_list_display&search_type=L2~1028&ShowIm |
