Wakeboarding

I learned how to wakeboard while on this trip. I have never had a desire until I saw David with one. On Friday we went on 2 different runs. The first one I went out with Tera and I tried about 7 times and then finally got up for like 2 seconds. Then I tried again and again and about the 3rd time after that I got up for like another 5 seconds. I was too excited that I got up that I didn't know what to do once I was up. After that I was too tired and had to take a break.

The 2nd try I went out with Joe and David and it was about 6:30pm and we were like the only ones on the lake it seemed like. The water was smooth and perfect. This time I did alot better and got up like 3 times for a little bit longer. This time though I would get up and be outside the wake and then I would crash.

The 3rd try was on Saturday morning because David was leaving so I had to get another run at it. Once again I got up 3 times and then I stayed up just a little bit longer than the other times.

That night I was begining to become sore andmy hands were a little rough because of my grip on the handle. I had so much fun though that it didn't matter! I can't wait to get my own board and go as often as I can.

I have video of me trying and trying so I do have proof that I did it!
