just a trick I found on vid cam, going to make a small clip soon, but heres a hardflip done on my wakeskate if anyones got a spare 30 seconds http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... kPkdfr0EWk

I can't figure out how to unhook and do tricks on the skate because I always have to be so over powered to ride. Could this be because i'm so small or am I doing something wrong? thx

hey Jessica, I find it has allot to do with the boards rocker. You want flatter to make it easier to stay upwind, and take less load off the boards drag. I use the new airush skate, great rocker and perfectly weighted IMO. Other than that, just bear down wind when u unhook it will just pull you along like a cable would.

good luck

And I find taking the fins out definatly helps "scoop" the board out easier for tricks

This is the Cabrihna Wake Skate. It doesn't come with fins & it's pretty heavy. I find if I'm not over powered to the tits I can't even get out of the water. I have no problem going up wind or doing little things like pop shovit's but i'm lost as to unhook with it. I guess i'll try going way down wind. Thanks for the help

So sick. Struggle getting shoves. Ur unhooked hard flip is clean as.

cheers.. heres the other one, bit dangly but my first attempt at the small amount of footage I had http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AghcCFS5ikk ill try and make the next one more low kite and unhooked
