Wakeboarding and water skiing are great sports, both physically demanding and a great workout. 30minutes on a wakeboard will have you in pain for a week. While the set up costs are increased it’s much easier than surfing because you’re less reliant on the weather conditions. The swell is not important and as long as there is little or no wind you will be able to find somewhere suitable for a water ski or wakeboard. Like surfing early morning is still best. The most enjoyable part about wakeboarding is the entertainment value it provides for those on the boat. Spectacular tumbles and spills come hand in hand with improving at the sport.
We have introduced what has become know as the 'golden rule'. At any time ANYONE on the boat can demand that the person wakeboarding attempts a spectacular trick. No one really cares if they land or not either way it’s always impressive. In fact it’s usually the bails and spills that are the most impressive.
The early morning missions before work set the tone for the day, the sun is still rising, even in the middle of winter when its FREEZING COLD its worth every second, the water was like glass - wakeboarding at its absolute finest.
Even ice cold water wont stop the tricks, they keep coming, backfilps, rotations - 180's, even 360's and even the odd grab thrown in for good measure.
The tumbles are very impressive, they 'rattle your bones' and 'shake out the cobwebs' but do little real damage - its not like a game of rugby or American football.
