What's Wakeskating?

[GnarShredd]

I get the question quite a bit and in addition to simply saying 'it's like skateboarding on water' I'd like something more.

What video clip(s) do you show people that you think best represent the sport?

Not entire videos, just quick stuff on youtube or vimeo that give someone an idea of where the sport is at today and how totally rad it is.

i like to show nicks part from aquafrolics because his style makes it look good.

-=AlexXx=-, haha~ Perfect.

I usually say skateboarding on water. I have no idea what else to tell them. If I can I'll show some clips of TNT.

i hate the comment: 'but how does the board stick to your feet', i want to strangle kittens whenever i hear that... i usually just say, its magic.

the best is when a parent is in the boat and you describe wakeskating to them when they ask 'what do you do?' after figuring out you do wakeboard..

then after tossing your skate in the water and jumping in after it they say 'now what is that you're about to do??'
