Learn how to do a kickflip and the madness of wakeskating.

Once you've learn't how to do a kickflip on a skateboard, you might like to chuck a wetsuit on and try the crazy sport of wakeskating.

Wakeskating is like wakeboarding, but instead of having you feet strapped to the board, you have grip tape, just like on a skateboard. This means you can kickflip, pop-shovit, pull grabs and a whole bunch of other skating tricks.

A trailer of the dvd filmed by a couple of 19yr old wake skaters, titled esoteric, can be found here and I would strongly recommend you take a look.

Even if your still learning how to do a kickflip, this movie trailer is hugely inspiring. Everything you learn on a skateboard can be taken over to wakeskating. Ofcourse you need a jetski, some water and preferably a wetsuit, but I suspect it could be a lot more fun that your average skateboard.
