Last summer I devoted a majority of my love to a new sport. The sport of wakeskating. Now I had for many years loved wakeboarding and was into everything about it. That all changed when I decided to have something to do behind the PWC. Now as some of you may know, you cannot really wakeboard behind a jetski. Without a wake there is nothing really to do.
But with wakeskating you are doing skateboard tricks and do not necessarily need the big wake. So therefore I fell in love with wakeskating. I was all about it, trying new tricks and loving the freedom of being "binding less."
A couple of weekends ago I was on my way up to the lake with a new wakeboard magazine and was reading an article about getting more pop off the wake with less work. I read it and thought I would give it a try. Boy was it right. I used a different kind of edge into the wake and hit the wake with so much pop I didn't know what to do. From then on I fell back into love with wakeboarding. Trying new stuff on the wakeboard I never thought possible behind our boat. Getting more comfortable on my switch footing and more.
Now that the 4th of July is approaching and the following weekend, I know this will come in handy for everyone. Now get out there and try something new, you never know how much fun it is and enjoyable everything is. And even if you fall, make sure you get up and try it again. The fun of wakeboarding and wakeskating is always being able to get up and try it again. Get pulled til your arms fall off.
Until next time, "Hit the Lake"
