So this image is from a "piece" of a camera, but hopefully it will get the point across............ Wakeboarding is freggin' pimp. If you take the fins off the board it is closer to riding a snowboard on fresh powder than anything else I have found. Britt and I have been taking her dad's boat out on the lake and have recently picked up a wakeboard and a wakeskate (a wake board w/o bindings). Conclusion: I'm addicted. And more importantly, I have an out for that midsummer depression from lack of the white stuff. I'll try to hit a bigger wake next time and get a better pic of it. The hardest part is getting used to being pulled the whole time. It changes your center of gravity and messes with the balance a bit. Once you get it and get up though, it's money.
This blog is going to be so full of pics after new years......I can't wait.

How's the wakeskate? I imagine that's hard as hell to get up on.
actually some people think it's easier to get up on b/c its a little smaller and creates less drag. The trick is keeping it on your feet before the boat hits the gas. www.wakeskate.com has a tutorial on how to get up if anyone needs it.
ONce your up its a lot like a wakeboard, except to jump you have to ollie. That makes thrashing the wake a little more difficult, but it's fun to screw around on. One positive it thta you can be pulled by a jetski, since you don't really need a wake to have fun.
Damm everybody be having blogs and shizzle. Mike photoshopped that pic so it looks like he's jumping.
