As you know, the Wakeboard is an extreme sport that comes from the fusion of water skiing and Snowboarding. For its part, the Wakeskating is a sport based on an adaptation of wakeboarding but unlike it, its practitioners use a board similar to a skateboard (obviously without wheels) but a little larger and wider than wakeboarding. Normally this table is covered by a rubber.

The Wakeskate comes from the mix of the Wakeboard and the Skateboard. At first they started with tables similar to those of Wakeboard until they discovered that it was possible to make them smaller and thus have more agility in the tricks, the sport was evolving until now.

Originally, the Wakeboard consisted of moving in tow from a boat with a board similar to the one of Surf or Snowboard, where the rider is tied with some bindings to the board and performs a great variety of pirouettes using the waves produced by the ship … In the Wakeskate the rider can go without bindings, simply with shoes similar to those of the Skate but lighter and with leaks for water. In the Wakeskate we can perform almost the same tricks as in the Skateboard such as Kickflips, Shovits, Manuals, Handrails, etc.

There is a wide variety of Wakeskate boards, both in form and manufacturing materials. By way of example a By-Level are two boards together, usually made of wood, or a Waterfront with nose and tail with four keels … more similar to the Skateboard. One of the first wakeskates to appear in the press was the French Alexandre Barnoin (who was double European champion in this mode) in the magazine Wakeboarding.
