Thats impressive bro, good work. do you use fins? iv only just started to get into it.
Cheers Kemp. Na i dont use fins, i find the edge of the board works well enough to keep me upwind.

I'm useing a homemade skate and its so terrible. Iv been thinking fins light help with keeping the landings stable. What do you use?
how much does it weigh? I got a cabrinha wake skate and it seems stupid heavy, I went back to usino my old Nemo skimboard. Cracks up wind but is a bit like a dog on lino.
anybody got an old wakeskate they want to sell to me.. have been wanting to get into it for ages but cant find a crappy cheap one.
love the vid.

You don't want it to be light otherwise it blows away.
Siiiiicccck! I want one of those skates too. What's up Kermit, how much, seriously?
Just emailed the guy at Frontier and he is based in Melbourne and makes up those boards as mentioned above for about $300 so I might grab one 
Did u want me to name drop flamboyant so u get some extra brownie points for the recommendation?
haha no need Mywisdom but thanks. Andrew is a pretty keen kiter himself and i think is on this forum. Def worth it for $300! Compare the quality and price with other skates!

How would they hold up on a rail?
Hi guys, Andrew from Frontier Wakeskates here.
Bit of info about the kite kite-specific wakeskates (aka kiteskates).
I have refined the templates and rocker line for the skates over this season, and have established the Frontier Kiteskate deck line-up in 3 sizes, as follows:
- Small is 42.5" (1080mm)
- Medium is 43.5" (1105mm)
- Large is 44.5" (1130mm)
Full timber concave, fibreglass grind base incorporating screenprinted graphic, with full Jessup wakeskate grip.
Cost is $300 (inc GST), plus freight.
As mentioned, they come wakeskate gripped standard (like skateboard grip). Can do them with high density diamond-grooved EVA traction instead, for a little extra dosh.
BTW, they will hold up better than your rail will! (Unless rail is scabbled concrete, asphalt etc!)
For more info, get in touch via email.

Cool mate, I'll defiantly start saving
i have had my last board for over 12 months now sliding on pvc, tables, tree branches and riding on shelly beach surfaces with no damage. the base is STRONG!
I just got my Frontier kite skate, with the EVA Grip.
Rode it once only so far, and loved it. Really nice to ride compared to my last skate (Airush), feels like a VW beetle to a new Porsche 911.
Cheers Deano, AKA: Kermit, for making such a farking sick weapon!

Having just made one, poor quality.... I wont go into details, but lets just say it sucked.
That is a good price for a good looking board.
