hhahaha yeah i did wakeboarding once i think in year 4 at a camp. it was so fun. i found it way easier than water skiing. i never face planted, just stacked it in other ways, somehow.

i would actually like to try it again someday.

Well I ride horses which my motorbike riding dad and brother insist is supposed to be the most dangerous sport, but I believe beyond doubt that wakeboarding requires the greatest sacrifice for pleasure!

Ahhhh, but that feeling of flying just makes it all worth it!!!

in some ways its similar to snowboarding but in lot of ways its different. People who do either tend to pick up the other pretty easily. A wakeboard it fat and heavy compared to a snowboard and the water treats you differently to snow!

Wakeboarding is hard...at first at least, then it gets easier...
Remembeer: If you face plant, let go!! Dont hold on or you'll just keep being dragged and gulping down water along the way :/
