anyone ever made used or thought about long board wakeskating? Just an idea that poped into my head. It would probably be pretty hard to do good stuff but it would be fun.

Todd, and Che Blanc...where does he say anything about wakesurfing? He is saying wakeskating with a longboard, how does that turn into wakesurfing? All it would be is wakeskating with a longer board.

x2xwakegurlx2x, NO I thought he as talking about "longboard style" wakeskating, more mellow long carves. That is just like wakesurfing

Yeah, I'd have to agree with todd on this one. Have you guys watched the "slayshin" (I think that's what the kids are calling it these days...) promo from hyperlite in metronome (their landlock promo). grubb was doing shoves and switch shoves on those boats. But if that isn't quite good enough, you can get a 147 cm wakeboard, grip it and rip it....yesssss, grip it and rip it. Or, hyperlite made some huge a$$ WATERskates back in the day, something like a 137 cm wake beast. (they did have a 131 and 124 but that just won't cut it--we're talking about LONGboarding!)
