does anyone know if a sandskimmer would double as a wakesurfing board. from the looks of it they are about have the price and a lot bigger selection.

Tell me what you think.

We tried a skimboard, but the one we had flexed a good bit and we were afraid that it would break.

Zap skimboards is the manufacturer of phase five wakesurf boards, if I am not mistaken. If you have a decent foam skimboard, it should work fine. Alliance did an article on it once....
