i am just starting wakeskating and have a hyperlite phriction 117. this may be a crap question but, is it easier to wear shoes or just go barefoot? i tried without shoes and it went good, but is it better with shoes?

If you want to cruise around you can go barefoot but i wouldnt recommend trying any above water tricks.

This also might be a dumb question. But i was wondering if regular skate shoes would be alright. I've been using some vans slip ons. But i was wondering if i were to use some Etnies skateboarding shoes, would they get too water logged and weigh me down?

If i were you guys i would get this shoe. The new adio quest wakeskate shoes.

They are very comforatble, they dry really quick too.

Nate20, they would probably be fine... if they are old, you could always drill holes in them to help with the draining... but other than that, I probably wouldn't worry about it.

I have been rockin' the Kampus Wakeskates shoe. Super light and pretty comfy with the built in neoprene sock.

man everyone should get a pair a phibius wakeskate shoes www.phibius.com they are designed to be put in a special bag and thrown into your dryier with out effing up the shoes, so that you can go back out skating later that day with dry shoes on. they look so sick too and super sturdy
