Need to Grease!

Im tryin to learn how to do an inflatable ride on 30 ft flat rail. I can do it on a wakeboard, but how would I approach it on a wakeskate. Do i want to 50-50 or boardslide.

as far as 5050 or board it personal prefrance, i can front boardslide rails really high but cant back board the same hieght. ive never riden a small flat rail so i dont kno aboujt 5050's

The rail is in an inflatable one that dips into the water and doesnt need an ollie to on it.

oh well if its wide u can 5050 but i would set up for a boardslide i think its easier.

I'd say boardslide for sure. 5050's are tough on a wakeskate, you don't have anything to lock you in like wheels would on a skateboard.

Cuz 50-50 easier on a wakeboard, but wakskate too hard to keep the skate underneath you

board slides i would say. Easier to blanace and correct yourself if you dont land on the rail perfectly.

Disco Bay has a ton, all the local pros ride in there plus the movie delta sessions was shot in that area of the delta

You call lipslides only on the wake, then you probably can hit a rail how high can you ollie
