Will an old-school Skurfer work for wakesurfing?

[G-MONEY]

Last week I came across my old-school Skurfer and the first thing that popped in to my head is.... Why the hell do we still have that.......Then wham it hit me I bet I could use it for wakesurfing......

What do you guys think.....

Haha, I don't know, but I wanna see you try. Do it Money!

And whatever you do, don't get rid of it. If you do however want to get rid of it, I'll pay the freight.

They were pretty buoyant weren't they, I be it will work, just might not be very playful.

Speaking of old school, there was an "Old School" competition on Fuel TV the other day. It was a mix of the current pros and the retired pros competing all on old gear and most in old neon wetsuits and short shorts. It was worth watching if anyone can catch it.

That's how we started, with my Hyperlite Skurfer (dating back to before there were wakeboards). First we used it with the bindings until we lost one of the bolts and then we just took them off.

It's hard to stay in the pocket because they're not real fast, but they have huge surf board style fins, so it gives you an idea of what it would be like. My kids started with that and then when we actually tried a real board behind a 22Ve during a Tige owners reunion, one of them was able to drop the rope immediately and start surfing.

In any event, it's something fun to mess around with and we still use it occasionally...mainly because the board looks cool!

I say go for it!

Must wear some day-glow though. It's the rules.

You can surf just about anything - we've used wakeboards, wakeskates and of course our rear porch door.

skurfer

thats funny, still have one HO hyper lite.we even still have the bindings for it. we still use it on the bare foot boom for the younger kids that have trouble getting a wake board over if they fall face first.the bindings look like a rear open toe plate on a ski.when they fall, the board comes right off.
