We had a pair of those too! They were fun! We had a pair of wooden Cypress skis with skegs that were entry level skis as well that we taught newbies on. The nice thing about the entry level skis, were, they were so wide, it was easy for kids to get up with them. Then, we had some sort(I forget the name) of slalom ski that had a concave bottom for better control supposedly, with a larger than normal skeg. We didn't go on any surf boards, but it seems like we tried everything else.The whole wake board thing reminds me of the wooden trick skies from Cypress Gardens we had as kids many years ago. Even had one that you could slalom on when you dropped the other. The wake boards seems to give you more control on cutting since the trick skies did not have skegs. Yes the old round boards were fun, hey we even skied on big old 8' surf boards.
