Hey I was looking at getting this board in the 112. I am an okay wakeboarder and just want to try out wakeskating. What you all think of this booar, would it be good for me, I'm 6'2 180lbs.
THanks

I am 5' 10" and I ride the scape 112, the length of a wakeskate determines the style of riding it has. A shorter skate is better for technical tricks as a longer one is better for wake to wake jumps. I got the 112 for a mix of both since HL makes a 107 112 and 116. So really it depends on what you want to do, but I do love the scape for only wakeskating twice. _________________

I have the 112. its pretty rad. although i am still new to the sport(4 weekends under my belt), i think for the money its your best bet. its alot of fun. Last saturday i finally learned how to flat spin a 360 on the water and pass the rope. yeah it took me like 8 tries but i finally got it. that was a cool feeling, specially on a 15 ft rope. heh
anyways get the 112. youll like it. _________________ "You cant spell FAILURE without, U R A." |

my first flat spin 360 was kind a easy... I wanted to make a flat 180 to blind for the first time, and by accident i made directy a 360... still don't know how I did... |
