Wakeskating

Wakeskating

Wakeskating is mixture of wakeboarding and skateboarding it has a similar design of board manufactured from maple or from fibreglass. Unlike wakeboarding, the rider is not attached to the board, which gives the sport its own unique challenges. Instead, the top surface of the board is covered with griptape like a skateboard. Riders usually wear shoes while riding similar to skateboarding. The speed at which riders wakeskate behind a PWC (Personal Water Craft: Jet ski), boat, cable system, or winch is generally 16 – 22 miles per hour. However, this depends on water conditions, the weight of the rider as well as a preference matter of the rider.
