Water Sports

Anyone else into water sports? I just got up on a wake board for the first time ever this last weekend. Fun as hell! It's way easier for me then skiing is, probably because of my snowboarding back round. Anywho, this was at my g/f's cabin. A couple of my friends and I are talking about buying a boat together and launching it on a more local lake which would be real fun!

Getting ready to go!

Here's a vid of me on Saturday. Trying to get a little bit of air for the first time... I still have a ways to go

Re: Water Sports

I've never been wakeboarding, but I'd love to try it. Tubing is always a blast too

Re: Water Sports

I go wakeboarding all the time on the Mississippi down here in Red Wing. I was just out this last weekend a bunch; we use our Jet Ski to pull us around, it works great, our boat is too big to be doing that sort of thing (25ft). I am pretty decent, but I just picked it up around 2 years ago.

Just wait until you try something and do a header, last year I was trying a measly 180 and slammed my head so hard into the water when I came to the surface I puked. True story. But I didn't stop, shows how dumb us guys are.

Re: Water Sports

Looks like it was a blast B! The jump vid was cool, nice faceplant haha.

Probably going to do some water skiing and jet skiing this weekend up at the cabin. I still want to try wakeboarding though.
