I'm buying a wake skate for something different to keep the flame burning after years of twin tip and surf.. Starting cheap, round $150 and the board is advertised as continuous rocker... Will it do the job? It's a double up "yeah" 43 inch... I like that the deck is covered in Eva foam.....

What's the rocker and width? 43' is pretty small for kiting, what's your weight?

I ride a 44' for kiting and it's almost the smallest possible board I can comfortably ride. I weight 84-87kgs.

Not sure on the rocker but it looks like a little fatty... I'm **** at posting links and stuff, but it's the double up "yeah" if your bothered to google it.... I'm 63-65 kegs depending on current levels of beer consumption....

Doesn't say how much... could be ok, but I'm not sure.

I hear you about keeping the flame burning, even surfboard riding can get stale after a while.
Just had my first session on a tona driftwood, seems to go alright, kickflip & benihana down,
