I'm currently a wakeboarder. I have wakeskated before on a Hyperlite 116 coast series (Ireland)I want to buy now. Is the wood ones better or the Hyperlite Brian Grub 116 fiberglass? Ore another brand? Not shure how the wood ones hold up in water. Please help I'm 6-3 200 lbs

The wood ones are more forgiving... and just feel much nicer to me as they are lower on the watter. Cassette , Liquid Force, Kampus are a few to check out

Check out www.integrity-wake.com
A buddy of mine is 6'-0", 225lbs, and he got up and rode on my Integrity skate no problem.

look at www.sattelyte.com they make wood skates and seem to have the delamn demon cured. there wakeskates are made out of 100% hard canadian maple, and they have tons of pop. where do you live? if its anywhere near me i'de be more then happy to let you demo a board or two.

if you want to talk more aout the skates e-mail me at Piratewake@hotmail.com.
