Wakeboarding

[phoztech]

anyone here wakeboard?
I this summer/fall i wakeboarded for the first time and really enjoyed it and was contimplateting buying my own this winter when things are cheap.
just wondering what i should look for in a wakeboard besides size?


(pretty weird question for a sattllite forum but hey we had a discussion about drysuits also)

You know I've done it while in southern Cali, but I have no idea where you are to tell you where to shop..Give a us a general location and I'll try to help..

[phoztech]

its not really a matter of where to shop cause likely i will be buying on the internet.... but i was wondering what the differences where in the shapes/edges are of wakeboards... you see some that the ends are rounded and some where they are sharply cut almost like inverted V or W....

some say more aggressive turning etc... what makes one board more aggressive or faster than another?


(BTW I live in the North Texas area, and i have never participated in any illegal activity, my satellite hacking only occurs when on vacation in canada. :) )

I'll be using skiis this year. I was thinking about sending my dog down on the wakeboard. He enjoys riding on the hood of my truck so I wanted to throw a new challenge his way.

Better watch it. One of those animal rights groups will be all over you for cruelty.

well i just got talking to one of my friends and he said that the store near my house "warming hut ski shop" or something like that will rent them to ya and then apply that rental fee to any purchase you make. so i think i might go and try out a few.

Maybe I'll teach my dog to water ski first. It appears to be OK if sqirrels do it. lol.


Twiggy

With a resume to make any world-class skier jealous, Twiggy the water-skiing squirrel has been touring with her adoptive family for over 20 years. A Florida gray squirrel, Twiggy will cruise around a 25-foot circular heated pool on a miniature pair of water skis, towed behind a remote-controlled Ski Nautique powerboat. Spectators are encouraged to bring their cameras to capture Twiggy in action or be photographed with this amazing squirrel after each performance.

As long as Twiggy is having fun it should be OK.
