So im new to the watersport world I used to skate and I have snowboarded my whole life.. I wanted to get a wake board but since I have a newly aquired Jetski and no boat I felt a wakeskate is the best route

Im 6' 228 so I'm thinking anything bigger than a 42 I'm probably only going to be puttibgv in 20 sessions a yr ..

With that being said ive seen the posts about supporting wakeskate companies and not wakeboard companies who half a$$ it...

I'm not looking to spend more than 300
I was looking at the byerly revival which I can get for 275 feed two day shipping. ...

Other suggestions would be awesome. .

My next question is is there shoes out there specificly for wakeskating I saw pre 2005 dvs reef and nike were making sweet shoes but I havent found anyb info on shoes easier to find...

Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated I need tob order gear before finday in time for vacation >

Byerly also has the Heritage skate which is an all wood contoured w/grip tape deck. Hyperlite has the Urso which is similar and same price too. I'd check out scioto boardshop out of columbus they have a good selection and good deals.

I heard that non specific wakeskate companies wood boards dont hold up which is why I thought composite would be tge best way to go workout spending more than 300

I picked up a pair of dvs munition sandbar ct in navy off of Shoebacca they have almost evry size still under $30

Anything that's affordable and non-stretch. I've skated with all styles of ropes and handles. The only thing I could tell is that ski ropes (stretchy) pull you off balance when they rebound. Other than that they all felt the same except for the handle. Some feel padded, some don't. Get your hands on a few and see which you prefer. I prefer a padded grip and ride ay 65' 19 mph no ballast.

You probably don't want to learn on a boomstick, that board is very different from most skates. I personally think they are fun, but just find a deal on one of last years decks, go a little bigger like 41,42" and learn the basics. Or try some friends boards, or meet up with some people on here who skate. In the end it's all preference most companies make a solid deck.

Yea I'm probably going to buy a hyperlite wood board. I'm new to the wakeskate scene so finding people who do it is slim for me bc haven't skated in a few years. But I'm buying a boat next year n a truck. How is that byerly board? It's it heavy? I'm 6'0 195 and I have no clue what to buy I keep reading that a shorter board is better for flip tricks. But idk if I should buy a 40" or not

So, what did you end up with?

I'm just looking to get a general board for anyone/everyone to try out skating.

Currently debating between 2013's LF impulse, Ronix Electric Collective and Byerly Revival - anyone have thoughts on those?

It is a really good shape. You will love it.
