"The Gretsch" pays respect to one of the best guitars money can buy -- the Falcon! Some might question the correlation between guitar playing and wakeskating, and the answer is obvious . . . After stomping a sick trick, there is nothing more satisfying than playing a little air guitar with your wakeskate back at the dock for the ladies.

The Urkle pays tribute to the greatest character actor of all time, Jaleel White. Why is Urkle on a wakeskate? Lets take a look at what Steve told his mentor, Carl Winslow, shall we? "Carl, I have a fear of being naked. I showered in a wetsuit until I was 10!" The correlation between Steve Urkle and wakeskating? Absolutely none, but I bet if he did wakeskate he would rip. Look for a much larger version of the board in the Carl Winslow model, for those wakeskaters surpassing 300 pounds.

This is Matt French's design "The Gamble Series." It's the one to beat! You Rock Dude.

"The concept behind the design is obvious. It?s gambling. I won?t get too into detail explaining why wakeskating and gambling have multiple parallels. I think it?s pretty evident. Every time you cut in to hit that monster wake, you are gambling with the chance of falling. But if you don?t make those bets you will never hit the jackpot. (Plus I happen to think that Gamble is just simply a cool word) Anyways, each board in this Gamble Series features a pictorial of different ways to lose your money at the casino. Inlayed as part of the picture are the words The Gamble Series. (you have to look for it though, because its incorporated as part of the picture)"

I want to make one that has out-lines pf feet in positions for certain tricks and have like a breif description of how the trick is done and have a different trick for each board. I just suck at drawing so if anyone wants to design it go ahead

That's what I was thinking awhile back. I was thinking about two feet on the topsheet and the sentence "Hang-ten, Dude!", with the two feet in the hang-ten position. Some might say that a hang-ten on a wakeskates is gay, and those people are correct. However, a hang-ten on a longboard is the coolest thing ever. So, I guess that the design would be paying respect to surfing, so it couldn't be that gay.

Someone please do this design!!!
