   Quick question , I think 

I am a OK wakeboarder but I really want to try a wakeskate they look like a blast.

So they question is what size should I buy 

I am looking for more of in the middle ride like a skateboard but still have pop to wake to wake jumps.

I am 5�9 200lbs I know I am fat. But I am young and in school full time  and working full time. But I still have time to get out on the water and rip with my wife 

Wakeboarding is my life  I live for the water and the boat.

So let me know I am going out to get one on my lunch break today

	Brian, I'm not sure what size skate you'll need. You'll probably have to talk to someone more knowledgable at the ski shop. I have used a wakeskate before they are fun, and the one I tried was definitely smaller than a wakeboard.
	When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded. Eddie

	I ride a Hyperlite too. You need a 116 or 117, depending which model you choose. If you get one too small for your weight, you'll have to go faster than you want to. The best thing about wakeskating is your feet don't cramp from bindings.
