I've learned all of my tricks on a wake skate for wake boarding by cutting toward the wake and doing the maneuver in the air and landing feet first in the water, then transfer it to a wakeboard. It hurts a lot less than falling on the wakeboard!
I love the sideburns on the guy operating the cable! Hahaha. Awesome job wakeskating! It is super hard, but so fun for a change of pace. Humbles you a little but the basics of riding come through strong.
looks that you have a lot of fun. The Raley off the Kicker is great. The weekend before i startet the season in Italy, warm water and the cables are epic :-)
Yesterday I tried wakeskating and it was fun as hell I think you should get more in to it just like me. Jumped 4 ramps yesterday and landed, most fun thing ever keep doing it.
Amazing video as always - standing up on a knee board is also really fun because you can turn even less than on a wake skate! Also any chance you could try foiling under the cable?
Jake, that's awesome you're getting into it. So for a complete beginner, it depends if it's for the boat or cable. But basically if it's cable, i'd advice a 'flex' board, and if it's for boat, i'd advice a 'traditional core' board which doesnt flex. Then for bindings, if you think it's just you who'll be using the setup, then I'd recommend closed toe bindings, but if you have a few friends wanting to use the board, i'd say open toe as they are more adjustable for different feet sizes. I'm a big obrien guy, so I'd recommend for the boat something like the valhalla, the format or the contra (all very easy to use boards) and then for cable the freemont or even the SOB. Hope that helps!
Having not done it yet, I keep imagining this being easier than skateboarding, because of the margin of error, in skating you have to land pretty much in the direction your going but with wake skating you have more room to twist into where you want to go. Am I arrogantly wrong? lol I'll find out when I get one
I dont get it, why are you making a big deal out of "trying" when you are already and accomplished wakeskater. Just seems odd. We already know you love it....because all wakeskaters love it.....either way some sick riding man....

My first time wakeskating was so fun because of the surface tricks you can do
Cheers from Canada!
Nice jumpstart Dave!! Wakeskating is pretty cool but I'd rather see you wakeboard
Thanks Joe, and I appreciate the honest feedback. I also prefer it too, but just wanted to mix it up a bit :)
Hell yeah, go panthers

hahaha that would be class on the kneeboard.
I'd b scared i'd rip all the anchor ropes on the foil on cable haha
Can u do a video of tricks u can do on a boat with a tiny wake? I ride behind a rib so can't really do air tricks
th-cam.com/video/6FbeOj-Hp4s/w-d-xo.html this might have you covered, plus, this week i've got another video you'll like a lot :)
Cheers- that ski boat wake is still bigger than mine tho😂
Epic for your first time wakeskating! Next time try to kickflip :P
Hey I am trying to get into wake-boarding, and I would like to know the best setup for a beginner
Jake, that's awesome you're getting into it.

So, the wet-suit...was that sponsor provided? Or did you have to break down and get a new one?
hahah neither lol. I got it free from O'Neill thankfully, so i didn't have to break down haha, but not a sponsored athlete or anything :)
Is this cable park in the ocean?
No, just like an inland canal that's been made wide for boats and chill haha
David O'Caoimh I'd hate to have salt water go up to the nose!

Keep wakeskating! Next should be a 3 shuv, and 360s.
Please do more wake skating
You should give a how to for wakeskating
Ski behind the cable and hit a kicker.
hahaha i like the sound of that!!! :) :)
Do you own a boat or do you just go on your friends boats
My parents have an old 210, but I rarely ride it. Hopefully get out on it more this year. But mostly with friends and at a club near my house!! :)
Yeow. Sick
You should do more wakeskating.
Tried Wakeskating today for the first time. Dude, it's so different but it's so much fun
Come to Texas!
do a video on how to choose gear thats right for you
You should try a air chair or wake foil 😂
hahahah th-cam.com/video/2gS4JwVy5dA/w-d-xo.html
