Last Week I decided to recycle an old twintip by using it as a wake skate. I’ve done a bit of strapless on a surf board, but never on a small twintip.

So i grabbed a pair of old running shoes and gave this a go.

Well first of all, respect to all those strapless wakeskate guys out there. You make it look easy!

It was fun to have such a loose board where the rail is everything…

had no problem staying upwind,

But shift your weight around and it becomes like an ice skating ring…

Managed to try some stuff …

And some spectacular wipe outs of course…

 

I might glue some foam to the top of that twintip and do this more regularly

I recomend you try this out. Now I need to work on some board skills!

Thanks to Melissa Smith for taking these pics…

Till next time
