i was wondering if you could just wear a skateboard helmet instead of an actual wakeboarding helmet

Thats what I use when I hit sliders. No problems with it.

Its probably not gonna work as well as a wakeboarding helmet considering there deisgned for a different type of impact but its definitly gonna work better than not wearin one at all.

i use a skateboard helmet for sliders, and it seems lots more comfy because of the foam, but the only problem with that is the foam holds water after i get it wet, then drips down my face while I'm riding. that's probably the only reason I'd consider getting a proper watersports helmet.

whether or not a helmet will help protect you from normal on water stacks is a bit controvertial - there's a lot of different opinions. I personally don't think it will make a huge difference to anything but your confidence. If wearing a helmet is what you need to do to push yourself harder or to try a new trick, then go for it!
