Butterflies..?

When I'm on the dock, waiting for the boat to start, I feel like butterflies in my stomach. I'm not talking about fear, I'm talking about a nervous positive exctiment.
I'm not sure but I guess that Byerly (or another wake legend) once said that if you don't have that butterfly feeling you better quit this sport.
What do you think?

I get them every time before I ride my first set of the day. Like you said, it is excitement, not nerves. It is a great feeling.

i get them before the first pull. After i fall when im waiting for the boat to circle i dont have them anymore. sometimes i feel funny cause of the cold water and my body jumping into it.

I get them when I'm sitting in the water waiting for the boat to start, and when I am getting ready to jump into the water. But, after my first fall I'm usually ok.

i get them usually before i wakeboard. There are like 3 new inverts i can almost do but i tend to eat alot of shizzle on some of the attempts. Today i compressed my ankle on a tantrum pretty bad so i think ill be wakeskating a bit more. I never get them before i wakeskate though, I never really get hurt doing that unless i do the splits. Your probably just nervouse because you think your gonna fall on something stupid like an ollie or something
