Wakeboarding/skating Question

I was just wondering which one would be the best for me since I have a small wake. I've seen people doing kickflips and shovits and stuff and it looks like fun. I cant really do anything other than surface tricks and 1wake's with my wakeboard, so I was thinking if I tried wakeskating it would open up a door to a greater variety of possible tricks. Any thoughts?

When I had a smaller boat I definatly got more into skating.You don't need as big a wake to have alot of fun.

But wakeboarding has alot bigger rangeyou have inverts, raleys etc. but wakeskating ur wake doesnt need 2 be high to have fun, but if u find sum1 that has a good boat you will have loads more fun wakeboarding IMO

Yea I totally agree. But with my size wake my range of tricks is extremely limited. It's mostly just surface tricks 180's a few grabs if I can manage it and the occasional 360. Other than that theres really not enough wake to get any height so inverts are definatley out. Thats why I'm thinking about switching over to wakeskating. Thanks

HOw high us your wake? My wake would be about 10" and i can nearly back roll off it. But i cant 360 off it but im working on it.

Lets just say its sort of like a flat boat. So i guess the wake is around 6-8" but it slopes up and doesnt peak so ther might as well be no wake at all as far as pop is concerned.

Build some sliders and kickers and play around on both board and skate.

Mike's had the best Idea yet.

Thats a good idea except I don't think its legal to put up sliders where I board. Plus there isnt any room for them, its just a deep deep bayou with no banks or shallow water. There is this one place where it branches off of the main canal and it sorta forms an island. I might look into putting one up back there as soon as I talk to an official about it.
