So, I decided I was going to take on a new challenge this summer and learn how to wakeboard. The first time out I tried about a dozen times and all I did was hurt my wrists and forearms because I (and the driver) didn’t know what we were doing. Then, during the week, I looked up some basic wakeboarding instruction, found some video and information that made sense, applied the lessons and what do ya know… I got up and had a blast.

A little training can go a long way.

We had a blast, Wakeboarding will be a great challenge for me this summer as I play with some of the basic tricks and move my way up the ranks. Everyone has to start somewhere. I am a white belt and plan to train and work hard and ‘get’ this whole wakeboarding thing.

Oh yeah, and so I decided to start barefoot skiing too. Another first for me, it was fun – so fast! Whipping across the water at 40 MPH with nothing but barefeet, that was a rush!
