Due to the nature of what these wheels are in for, there are a lot of factors that play into a good wheel:



·Hardness: Most wheels use the A durometer scale, this is scale of hardness. The lower the number the softer the wheel is, thus more grip, we want the lowest number. My wheels, which are Orangatang Yellow Stimulus, are rated at 86a, this is isn't the best choice, but I'll talk about that later



·Contact Patch: The larger the contact patch, the more grip is provided. Stimulus: 42mm



·Diameter: The larger the diameter, the deeper the cuts we can make, the more water is churned out



·Surface Type: Smoother surfaces slip easier, where as rougher ones grip more. Also rougher ones tend to wear out evenly.



Another factor that plays in, is the lip style. Whether the edges of the wheels are round or straight. We want rounded, because on the of chance we lose traction, then we want a clean slide, that's where the round edge helps us. I used the Stimulus because that's what I had on me at the time, I suggest the Orangatang Orange Durian Freeride wheels, larger diameter, contact patch, and it's softer.
