We do it all the time, my kids like it more than wakeboarding. You can do it with or without wake, for max size, put sacks on one side or the other, then do slow (12mph) circles, the wake will be huge on the inside of the circle. My kids use a skimboard, they work great and are a lot cheaper than one of the wake surfboards. You can put a wakeboard fin on them for better control. Use a short ski rope to get started, my son gets up on it just like on a wakeskate.
