what do you think would be the perfect skate if you were to design your own pro model, who would make it? What would be its key features? Graphics? Foam, grip, both? What would be your idea of the best wakeskate??

Mine would be made by either myself or integrity(i wish!)
It would be a concave skate with a 2.4" rocker
It would be available in compression molded or wood
It would have 2 different sizes, 112cm and 115 cm.
It would have edges like a wakeboard to cut better through the water
It would come with both foam and grip tops
It would have two 1" fins
and the graphics on the 112 would look like this

The graphics on the 115 would be black with a white stripe, and on the stripe on each board would be the company name in black on the 115 and white on the 112.

mine would be a a 40 inch a-symetrical concave that would be a mix between the k39 and the swing square body, curved tails, with a 2.0 rocker 9ply maple it would have 3 fins on the wider side one in the middle and one on each side an one on the narrow side it would have grip and water channel on the bottom

mine would be a butter, type skate, with a profile like a k-39, youknow like the way they did the concave, and edges and constuction butterstyle, with the shape of a k-39, and 39 in. length, and thee graphics would be all camo, with camo foam grip, and a huge skull and crossbones on the bottom

P.S. I might want asymetrical kicks I.E. different hights, and with molded fins like the butter

My pefect wakeskate would be a K-39 with built in fins like the butter so i could ride it finless, then it would be all black with a big pirate drinking a beer and the pirate would be holding up his hook.then i would have pink foam grip .i would also have mi own wakeskate shoes they would be pink with a pirate on the outside of the shoe. Very Happy

and it would come with a free eye patch and hook. so u could be your own pirate Very Happy

kento911, if it was camo you wouldnt be able to see it in the water! Shocked

yeah, but my shorts are camo too, so nobody could see my legs or the board, then I'd enter contests and confuse the announcers and the fans, then jump back on the dock and claim victory and dopeness over all contenders, LOL

my grip tape would be clear too

I've decided, Im going to make my skate, with one major difference to how I described it, I'll have to make it outta wood, don't feel like dealing with the hassle of making a glass skate, probably change the graphics, but I gotta stick with the camo foam for grip

some camo griptape thatd be beachin...

kento911 · Kickflip Joined: 29 Mar 2004 Posts: 3657 City: Phoenix

yeah, I think the graphics are going to be all black or dark brown, with a lime green or hot pink skull and cross bones, check out the grip
