First Time Wakeboarder
To My Friendly Wakeboarders - Last weekend for the first time in my life I tried to wakeboard. With my sons as witness, I got up, hung on, and stayed between the wakes. A minute was all I could take. I am humbled and have a new found respect for you. I'm here to tell those who don't know that wakeboarding is a lot harder than it looks. I'll stick to skiing, which is my passion, but take my hat off to the wild and crazy wakeboard crowd. - Deerfield

I totally agree they it looks easy but it's very hard.
When watching wakeboard videos like "The Truth" or "Chick Flick" they make everything look effortless and it makes me sick!2008 Outback V - gravity III ballasts, perfect pass star gazer, hydraulic wake plate, depth finder, water stainer, rad-a-cage tower, board racks, tower mirror, bimini top, audio package d, graphics package e, appearance package, cockpit & tonneau cover, mooring cover, black stainless rubrail, docking lights, OJ 14.25x14.0 prop.

I'm a wakeboarder and pretty damn good so I am just the opposite. I rode with a friend last weekend who insisted that I slalom. I was a fish out of the water. Yes, I got up but probably wouldn't get much on style points but man the speed you're pulled at and the arm workout. I have a new respect myself.
