wakesurfing over wakeboarding?

[spyder]

Anyone getting to the point where they actually love surfing more then boarding or skiing?

man, the slower speeds are so welcoming in the early morning when you are still tired, and not having to worry about getting hurt is a pleasure as well

I'm up to 50/50 and used to be a 100% skier. I have not been able to slalom ski yet this year.

After tearing my acl last year wakeboarding I now surf and skate alot I really like the free bindingless feeling

80% surfing, 20% wakeboarding.
haven't been on a set of skis in 20 years, and have never slalom'ed..
speed is too quick for me anymore. 35mph at 20y.o. is not bad, but at 40, guess I'm just too old now...

i love to ski, will ski when i get the chance at nice water. wake boarding is much easier on the body, except for the falls.

surfing is fine, but i prefer the speed of the ski. we surf when we can't do anything else.

Really starting to love the surfing. Have not wake boarded to many times this year. I like the slow fall. I did ski on Sunday. 1st time in about 10 years. Took me about 3 tries to get up. I felt like I was too far away from the boat since I'm used to the surfing now. Shoot, even tried to barefoot this weekend, water was glass all day and there were only about 3 boats out. Made it about 50 yards before the pain of the head over heels. Did I mention that I like the slow fall of the surf board?

I've been considering picking up a wakeskate, my balance is a lot better when I can put my feet where I want on a surfboard, so i've been thinking I may do better on a wakeskate than I do on a wakeboard. Is it any easier to balance on a skate for you?

The balance riding is about the same but more confortable. With the board I have if you go too fast it can get scary, but I usually pull the skate at 18mph so its a bit slower than I wakeboard also.
I like the fact the skate is "loose" I really like to slide the wake, switch, try kickflips, shove its even though I suck and usually crash For me its just more fun that little board is hard

If you get one remember that they come pre installed with "Nut radar" when you attempt to jump the wake and crash smash 2 attempts 2 smashes

The wakeskate I have is a cheap hyperlite wood one with foam pad like a surf I alway ride barefoot and like the feeling of putting my feet where I want and being able to adjust

Get one they are Fun!!!!

We are a 40% wake board and 60% surfing.

I like both but my back is not dealing well with wake boarding.

Claudia likes both but she can only take 4 or 5 pulls on the wake board. Surfing we have to remind her theres others who want to ride too.

Friends for the most part are 50 50 both. All of them learned to surf behind Fierah woot.

Think I will prob get one soon, been sneaking looks at a ronix zariel my dealer has in his pro-shop. Looks very fun to ride, like a double-wide skateboard. He's got a good demo program so I'll prob check it out before summer ends.
