A skateboard has four wheels that you can ride, and a surfboard is just a board that you ride on the water.

Surfboards are always longboard being AT LEAST 5"5 ft which is a very short board used for tricks and very difficult to catch waves on. Most surfboards are between 6"6 to 7"8. Surfboards always are used farther out where you cant or barely stand and you wait for a wave to come then you stand up on it. Skimboards you wait on shore then you wait for a good break you then throw the board then jump on it and glide across the beach.

A wakeboard has bindings and is bigger. A wakeskate is smaller and has griptape, like a skateboard. Hence the name wakeskate.

In Surfing, you are usually in the sea, and riding waves, whereas in wake-boarding you are in a lake and being pulled behind a boat, and you ride the wakes the boat makes.
