wakesurf ???

[inferno]

ive been searching around for a good wave solution for my quiver and most of the boards on the market are really expensive, i would consider spending the cash if i lived on the east coast where there are more waves but for the west coast we only get a good NW once a month if were lucky....
because of this i want a board that would be fun also in flat water, (so i really dont want a surf board)
i figure the best bet is some sort of a mutant style board...

... so when i stopped at WSW today i saw a wakesurf board for the first time... i guess they are made to surf behind a boat, but they look like they would rock in the surf with a kite, able to be ridden both ways, surf fins on side and a small fin on the other, the model i saw was about 150x50, thicker then a wakeboard but thinner then a surf board, double to single concave.... and if i got one i could put some NSI stick on binding inserts for straps...

just curious what everyone else thinks about the board, would it work well for dropping in on the wave and then using only the waves power to ride.....

(similar to the skywalker D-wave, only a little thicker)
