Didn’t really know where to post this, but does anybody here wake board, water ski, knee board, or anything of the like?
I life in the heart of america, where there is no ocean or waves anywhere close. Last weekend, I went out on a lake 3 hours away, first time behind a boat (except for tubing when I was 9) and learned how to water ski, knee board, wake board on two different kinds of boards, and this disk thing I don’t even know the name of. it took me awhile to get used to some of them, while others I picked it right up. I’ll post pictures here when I can, but in the mean time, I want to hear what you all do!
Done a little bit of wakeboarding and really, really enjoyed it. Don’t know anyone with a boat now, though!
Have done a little bit of wakeboarding and love it however I assume like most finding someone with a boat is the only thing stopping me from riding more.
I wakeboard whenever I can. Absolutely love it. I used to waterski which I also loved. But it just feels better being on a board. We’ve done a bunch of surfing and wakeboarding behind my jetski. Super fun!
Post up some photos! I’m spending the summer in Australia so I will be back in the water a lot. I actually have a brand new wakeboard here which I haven’t even used yet. Can’t wait to get back behind a boat or jetski, or even at cables. Do you have cable wakeboarding anywhere near you?
This is the one near me. http://www.cableswakepark.com/ - I used to go there a lot as a kid, then they shut down for many years. Now it’s reopened (a couple of years ago) and I can’t wait to check it out.
The cable park they had in Melbourne shut down.
:(
Need to find some friends with a boat.
I have a couple of friends with boats who I wake with, but no where near as much as I’d like too. Love wakeboarding. Really keen to try wake skating. Thinking of putting in with my brother to get a tinny, or a 3seater ski to do wakeskating on.
Yeh the one in Melbourne, at Carribean Gardens in Knoxfield, doesnt run. Dont think they got enough business
I have wakeboarded twice, and I loved it.
In fact one of the reasons I started snowboarding is because wakeboarding is too difficult and expensive round here.
I have been wakeboarding for a fair few years now, i love to get out as much as possible and plan on teaching a few of my mates on boardworld how to wakeboard this summer to. I have given wakeskating a go aswell, not heaps as it needs to be pretty glassy conditions on the river to get the hang of it, i can stand up and carve on it, but havent been able to stick any jumps yet haha.

Woo can’t wait! Summer is going to be great, Beach, Wakeboarding (well trying to) and Japan!
