I love wakeboarding such a sick sport. I was taking some lessons and when I fell it barely hurt. The coach would always be like are you ok?! I was landing on my back trying front rolls and it didnt hurt. A crash like that on skis and I could be out for the rest of the season

you can still get slammed in wakeboarding... ie face slamming on water :(

it is a cool sport though. too expensive for me.

If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.

wakeboarding can hurt a lot if you catch your front edge

haha I did that like 15 times trying 360s. 3s are a completly different trick than on skis. You use the rope to spin. You dont even start the spin till your in the air. I never did get it. That one does kinda hurt but there are way worse crashes in skiing. now the toe edge that one does hurt a lot. Still nothing like broken bones like in skiing if you crash bad. The worst injurys in wakeboarding are like pulled muscles. I guess there are probably some bad injurys but not that common
