Wake Boarding

[DJD]

Any of you boys been wake boarding? I have been a few times including yesterday and it's a lot of fun! Falling errrr.... I mean crashing kinda makes you sore but I guess the idea is to not do that so hopefully I learn not to so much of that.

Ohhh the ironic thing is that years ago (maybe months) I would gripe about the boats running around pulling folks for fun and now I have been one of them. I still feel for the fisherman working the banks and getting tossed around but hey it is what it is......public water

Next thing we know, you're going to have an Obama bumper sticker on your Prius.

Never did the wake board thing....I rode a jet ski last summer though...that was fun, acting like a fool, jumping wakes and such. Just wasn't fun enough for me to go out and buy one.

Tim,
I rode a jet ski myself a few years ago while on vaca at Marco island and i agree it was a lot of fun. Those dang things can cost more than a low end economy car! One bonus is they can be rigged up nice for fishing!!

I've been wakeboarding for the past 12 years...don't get to do it as much as I used to...been driving jet skis for the past 20 years (since I was 10). I also duck hunt on the lake. Spent all my childhood summers on a houseboat at Buzzard Rock Marina.

I guess I'm a well-rounded water sport enthusiast...on the water 12 months out of the year

I have a new appreciation for it. I am just learning but can see the addiction. I can't wait to jump the wake but for now I'll settle for just not falling as much. The recovery time for me is a little longer than some of the younger folks I go with.

I know exactly what you are talking about......nothing worse than catching an edge and being catapulted face first to the water. Feels about like hitting concrete! A hit like that usually ends my session now.

A hit like that ended wake boarding for me. I almost really got hurt bad, really scary doing a face plant at XXmph.

I hear ya fellas. One of the group fell hard and hit the back of his head. He came up from the fall and couldn't see for a split second so he prolly got knocked out from the back of the head hit he took.
So far my bad fall had my neck sore (which *****) but the amount of water that got shoved into my nose was the worst part. I still wanna go but I am cautious so as not to get hurt.

used to years ago really miss it to say the least.
