well i just got back. board is absolutely loose. its not what i remember riding but its definitely a blast. by the end of the run i was doing the same stuff on the wakeskate as i do on the board. its definitely a whole different set of skills between the two as you can see my stance on the wakeboard is almost as long as the wake skate itself.

anyways, pics and a couple videos comin up.

faceplant a couple times?

one of the things i noticed right off the bat.

this is as far back i can lean when cutting outside the wake on the skate.


with the board i can cut it this sharp.

man i had a nasty one last weekend. i was doing a backside 360 on the water. as soon as i brought my left foot around and my back was facing the boat i hit a wave and it caught the lip of the board. it was like someone clotheslining your ankles at 20mph...
