i feel like shuvs are much easier on a wakeskate than skateboard because when u first learn them they dont really need to be popped.
kflips are different cause on a skateboard all u have to do is kick ur foot out. on the wakeskate u actually have to kick the board

Wakeskating*
But more importantly, they are the same, in that once you do them you are hooked for life. You will find satisfaction in the act, the thought, the asthetics, the ideals, the sounds, the feels, the falls, the pain, every new trick, and it will consume your life. Welcome.

I think it's easier to do on land rather on water...ya no need to pop to get a shuvits either.
That's me doin multiple shuvits...happened to saw some kids skate nearby so I borrowed their deck for old time sake and quickly returned it to them. Video taken using my friend's phone.

Both are SICK.
bochner, I agree it is easier for me to land a shuv on a wakeskate, even when its a pop shuv.
One great thing about wakeskating over skateboarding is if u fall u dont get a faceful o cement.
I love them both. |
