have you ever tried wakeboarding?

It's actually easier if you know how to skateboard. I, myself, don't know how to skateboard, but my friend's brother who does learned easily how to wakeboard. He managed to stand up after just four tries on the "pro" course. after a few rounds, he almost doesn't wipe out at all! I didn't like kneeboarding either. You're right it's pretty boring. You just kneel and get pulled by the cable. It's pretty hard to navigate it too. It's really more fun when you have a beginner friend with you. That way, you don't get too self-conscious. My friend who has tried wakeboarding a couple of times accompanied me in the beginner course, she actually amazed everyone when she completed the course on her second try. Me, I managed to stand up on my third or fourth try. Then I managed to go way across the course on my seventh or sixth try. I really want to get into it, but it can be a really expensive sports.
