Hello
Does anyone in here wake skate with a kite? I'm thinking about getting a board...
What boards are you using?
Any suggestions on kite specific wake skates that work well in normal conditions (the same power needed for a regular twin)?
This board I would also like to use at the cable-park.
thx for your support

I think he might have gone underground from seabreeze...another lost leader. He actually has cred and is not in anyway associated with lorocopter. Aka best wave indo close out wave rider with multiple personalities and alieses and Cray Cray issues from kite mafia.
Sorry but Mulder n Skully are on the other LINE so over to ....
Thank you so much!
do you know what is the difference between the 2017 and 2018 model?
Because in Europe you can still buy both versions.
Do you have a preference?
thx

Hi.
Almost gone, but not quite... the sport that is .
The difference between 2017 and 2018 is that the 2018 model is slightly longer and slightly wider. So if you're a bigger rider I'd suggest the 2018 model if possible. However I doubt most people would notice. In general you want to be a bit more powered than normal twin-tip riding, just take a size or two bigger especially at first as it will help you get the hang of it.
Anymore questions just ask.
Hi,
thank you for your input!
I weigh 85kg and my height is 183cm.
would this be a bigger rider for you?
if not and I would go for the 2018 model it would not make such a difference that the I could use the same kite size than with a twin tip, correct?
will it be possible with more experience on a wakeskate to ride the same kite size as on a twin tip?
The reason why one would not build Kiteskates in the size of twintips would be that one cannot do the tricks so easily? Is this the reason why they are so small?
Will I feel the difference between a normal Wakeskate and a Kiteskate when kiting?
Does anyone have still contact to frontierwakeskates.com. The internet page looks kind of "dead" (last update was summer 2017) and did not get any reply until now. (Mail was sent on Thursday)
kind regards
markus
One more thing... do i feel a difference with a kiteskate in the cable-park compared to a wakeskate?
is the difference huge?
Take the fins and bindings off your girlfriends shortest twin tip with the most aggressive rocker profile.
pay 22 dollars for a pair Dunlop volleys and off you go.
As said above choose a kite 1 to 2m larger than normal (as strap positions make use of all available surface area; inefficient position, drag, = massive pop).
Kick flips, heel flips and 360 shovit flips will come easy if your already landing them on a skateboard, the kite gives you an extra second or 3 to stomp it!
Hi,
I think this is a misunderstanding.
the question was:
Do I feel a difference when using a KITESKATE (Axis Planq) instead of a Wakeskate in the CABLE-PARK.
thx

I'm sorry but this thread has been far to civil and far too useful for someone. There has been courteous, informative dialogue and it has to cease.
Can it pleae stop or at least the moderators step in.
Thankyou. Laurie make it stop, we can't have this precedence be set.
