The Wake Sk8 is kayakings answer to surfing: The ease of having fun as you learn, and the freedom provided by not being enclosed within a plastic shell.



To a beginner, the Wake Sk8 offers a learning enviroment that feels safe. It eliminates the feeling of being trapped inside a kayak, and it also eliminates the need to perfect the Eskimo Roll before you can begin to have fun. Within 5 minutes of sitting on the Wake Sk8, a total beginner can be surfing a wave and working on thier first flat spins. And after a capsize, you just climb back on, and paddle to shore... that is, until you learn to roll.

To some people, going wave surfing in a closed kayak is like going to the beach in ski boots. If that’s the case, let us introduce to our flip flop! Its everything you love about playboating, combined with the feeling, freedom and image of board surfing. As one of our team paddlers pointed out, “Tan while you Pan Am”. And the Wake Sk8 will airblunt, Pan Am, Helix and more with the best of them...

Gone are the days when kayakers looked at surfers with envy.

(Weight and volume are Playak estimates, as Dragorossi doesn't publish those figures)
