Half the people I try to explain it to don't even know what wakeboarding is....

"Oh yeah, is that like with a sail, or one of those parachutes?"

just plain sad

I got this one today from a friend when i was telling my other friend, sadly the only other waskeskater in the school, about diffrent shuvits. "Shutup, I dont know what the fizzle you guys are talking about. what the hell is toeside? what the hell is a wake?"

I just describe it as skating on water.

Fredrick_Eisenhauer, I say the same thing. Skateboarding on water.

If you all think describing wakeskating to people is hard, try describing the winch. I say its a device that pulls you in fast enough on a skateboard for water, and they're like "Oh, thats cool."
