Haha, so even though you were crap, was it fun?!

Cool. Wakeboarding is fun, can be a bit painful though!

I'm not much chop at it but I have done it a few times. The hardest part is getting up at the start, actually staying up isn't that hard. One tip: make sure when you take off, let it pull you up, don't pull yourself up with the handle, otherwise you'll never get up.

Wakeboarding is awesome!
It's better on a boat than on a rail though, especially if you have a patient boat driver
You'd better have good abs because befre you take off you need to do solid stomach crunches for like 5 minutes, or either the board will sink or your head will, was harder for me being quite tall 6'2" and all legs.


Once you get up it's awesome though.

You'll have great fun!

I prefer waterskiing though.

Whats that sport where you get like a bodyboard and skim accross the low surf?

Bit like Skimboarding, without a skimboard... its thicker n foamier..?

Am I making sense?



I really want to learn to surf sometime... but going to learn swimming first

[luvlygal]

No but you never make sense

[tangoedmini]

haha, that was a bit harsh,

I cant wait to go now!! think by the sounds of it i need to hit the gym a bit harder then!

[luvlygal]

He'll understand

As long as ya arms, legs and stomach are in good shape, you'll be fine

[tangoedmini]

Well i think their normal shaped, better gym it up just incase!

[luvlygal]

Up to you!
