\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

So i grabbed a pair of old running shoes and gave this a go.<\/p>\n

Well first of all, respect to all those strapless wakeskate guys out there. You make it look easy!<\/p>\n

It was fun to have such a loose board where the rail is everything…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

had no problem staying upwind,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But shift your weight around and it becomes like an ice skating ring…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Managed to try some stuff …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And some spectacular wipe outs of course…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I might glue some foam to the top of that twintip and do this more regularly<\/p>\n

I recomend you try this out. Now I need to work on some board skills!<\/p>\n

Thanks to Melissa Smith for taking these pics…<\/p>\n
