and wow, the most fun ive had in a longgg time. i went to texas ski ranch today and it was perfect, not crowded, and overcast. so i go sit on the dock ready to take off. keep in mind ive wakeboarded once in my life and it happened to be there, and here i was about to try and wakeskate. i didnt know what to think or do but i just held on. the rope came around and i was off, i got up on my first try. i made it to the second turn where my foot slipped and grabbed the water and fell. after a few falls in the turns i was going around easy. by the third hour i was feeling pretty good, i started to pull off some surface 180's and some small ollies that were prolly only 2 inches but it felt good to me. overall i have to say i dont think ill ever touch a wakeboard again and wakeskating is so much more fun.also thanks to spadeout41 for selling me a board, it road great and i couldnt be happier, and thanks to this site for helping me decide which board and all the knowledge on wakeskating really really helped me. i cant wait to go skate again!!! il post a video later once its uploaded.
