Wakeskate is not just an activity, it's not just a sport; it truly is a way of life.

When looking at a wakeskate closely, we see that the general shape of the board is similar to that of a wakeboard, but it has no bindings. The top surface of the board is covered with grip-tape (in a similar fashion to a skateboard) or a soft, high-traction, foam covering that is more forgiving to riders when it comes to the inevitable crashes. The foam allows for the board to be ridden barefoot.
