I found a new kind of wakeskating. In a recent trip to Lake Mead, NV me and a bunch of friends decided to try getting up on a skim board just for kicks. Not only did we get up, but it was the raddest ride ever. Unlike a wakeskate, the skimboard just glided on the water, much like the old kneeboards. I was able to bust a 720 (on the water) my first time up. My buddy pulled a pop shove it his second time up. I recommend that if you have a skimboard give it a shot, I think you will be pleased. The only downfall is the wake, it is hard to get back in the wake because if any water goes over the nose it will pull the board down, but other then that I think this is my new favorite thing. If anyone has tried it before or wants tips let me know. Peace Brett
