re: Wakeboard bindings - quick/easy question

I was real interested in wakeskating...but answer me this...
My kid is 14 and relatively athletic and coordinated. He is an absolute beginner and has only even attempted wakeboarding once, but that one time he got super interested and has pretty much outgrown the joy of our tube.
I don't see him doing any/many tricks, especially since our boat is a center console bay boat, not any type of real wake-producing boat.
For just regular ole riding around, does a wakeskate increase his odds of serious injury?

Not really. He can get hurt doing both. Both are very fun. Wakeboarding is generally easier for people to learn. The board is bigger, it floats more, and he's strapped in so he's not constantly trying to figure out what he's doing with his feet.
Wakeskating is a totally different game.

A wakeskate removes the ACL (also had a friend separate his pelvis…in the middle at the bottom and another spiral fracture his leg) damage risk from bindings either failing or not. My son was 14 when he started, athletic but no real experience.
