I'm 40 and still love to wakeboard. I finally broke down and bought a couple of surfboards last year and will give it a go once the water turns to crap, but it is not the same. Even my pops at 66 still loves to wakeboard.
I did take a good slam toward the end of last year, but got back out the next weekend and was a little timid the first run.2006 Supra Launch 21V

I couldn't agree more! I wakeboarded competitively in the early 2000's and slowly let it slip away. We started surfing a lot in the 2010 era. When I bought the Moomba in '18 (my first new - or even newer than 20 years old - boat) at 33 I vouched to do it justice and started focusing on wakeboarding again. The newer tech in the boat helps. my friends still think I'm crazy and I'm one of 3 people who have ever been on a rope longer than 15' behind my boat.
Wakeboarding has been my motivation to get in shape over the last few years, changing my lifestyle (well not completely, lol) and dropping 40lbs (and counting). I'm up early on lake weekends for that butter and drink less through the afternoon hoping to get that sunset shred on. I won't be so dramatic to say wakeboarding saved my life or anything, but it sure has made it better!2018 Moomba Craz | Autowake 2.0, Zero-Off, G6 Pumps | Captain Blue/Dark Graphite/Silver Flake | Enzos + Lead

^^^^ This 100%
How old are you? I'll be 49 in July and I never got to the stage of doing any kinda inverts, but when the water delivers, there's no possible way that surfing can compare. I mean, yeah, we've surfed when the water was still glass, but it doesn't change surfing much at all. But even just going straight on a wakeboard and sliding the smooth buttery water takes me to a special place.
And even a little bit of air is amazing... that feeling of flying is something that surf will never give me. (though since this pic I wear a helmet and a knee brace for protection).

We're new to surfing (last year) and only getting into it because it's the only thing you can do on Sunday afternoon's chop (on or new to us small lake), but this 41 year old and two teenagers will be be doing a whole lot of wakebording and skiing in the mornings. You are right, nothing beats the thrill and speed, but there's also something about spending an afternoon on the boat with a bunch of pips cheering and laughing at kids falling in the water at 10 mph. Plus when you have guests everyone is willing to give it a shot = more laughs.

Too funny. Us waterskiers said the same thing of wakeboarders. Things change.
