Kick flip

So, I'm watching James practice some kickflips out in the driveway and tought it would be interesting to be able to do that on a wakesurfer - but the shape would need to be considerably narrower - maybe like the Roam wakeboard? I wonder what the optimum size would be that would allow things like a surface 3, a shuv and a kick flip in terms of length and width?

Kickflips are starting to be commonplace in skimboarding. I have footage of several of them being stomped.

Give me a link Sean! :-)

It seems that the board would be too wide, such is not the case?

Just need some extra bendy knees to get your feet up.

I've tried it, but have yet to stick it.

I tried one last winter. definitely possible with a skinnier more surfy model. (wink wink) after seeing it on video, though, i will be more careful because it has to spin directly under your figs. I will see if i can find it and put it up. BLTNSDCA
