You can but the rocker is a killer. Unless the wind is really cranking you'll find it harder to get out of the water. My advice is take your boots off your wakeboard and put em on a kiteboard. They have a flater rocker and will plane easier.

Dont listen to 'em.
Wakeboards are fine for your first season. Stick with the boots if you can.

i bought a 138cm wakeboard with kite straps and it works fine, the board is very stable and trucks along, being a light rider i can still use it in light winds. like some of the guys said here if you bought a kiteboard which is lighter and has less rocker your performance will be increased as the board will plane easier and is more agile.
p.s use a wakeboard for now and when u get better and have $700 burning holes in your pocket then go and buy a kiteboard
happy kiting, mick
