I was wondering if a wakeskate was floaty enough to surf with? so i could wakesurf and do tricks. if it does work and u got pics show them

how much do you weigh? ive surfed waves with one. never behind a boat. it most likely wont work behind a boat, unless its a huge yacht or a tanker

ya ill probly just go wake surfin and pull out the wakeskate see if it works and if not just keep wakesurfin
but it would be sweet to be able to pull off tricks on it

i've wakesurfed with my oak before. i never let go and just rode though, it was cool doing lip tricks on a big ass wave like that though. but the speed that you're wakesurfing at uses so much effort just to pop a wakeskate.

we tried it once. it was alot harder than normal surfing simply because of the shape/length of the skate. but its worth a try to see if you can do it.
