hello. i'm a big wakeboarder, but i cut my toe pretty bad last week so i couldn't when i went to my cottage. but i could waterski, which i haven't done in at least 3 years, and i found out that it's a lot harder than wakeboarding, my balance was all screwed up, i fell on my ass a bunch of times. i remembered it being easier.

I haven't changed my signature in quite some time, so I will change it. Here it is.

dude...I wakeboard...waterski, and wakeskate...I think that wakeboarding is really fun...but there is just something about making a super low cut on glass that makes me love waterskiing even more

Yeah waterskiing on glass is awesome. I reckon that waterskiing (one ski) is harder to get up but once you are up its actually easier to keep your balance. Don't know why, maybe the extra speed has something to do with it and the fact your not as side on...

yeah wakeboarding was a lot easier to cruise around than on one ski water skiing, i tried both for the first time this summer and one ski was by far harder

one water ski isn't that hard at all though, I mean starting with one is but if you start with two and drop one it's pretty cinch. I've never wakeboarded though so I can't compare.

I went waterskiing two weeks ago on Winnipesaukee (NH) and it was glass, so nice. then out of no where it got super choppy so we stated tubing because we didnt have the wakeboard. tubing is fun too. my mom used to be an awesome waterskier, and she could get up one-ski when it was choppy and shit. she was showing off one day, and she went backwards which was awesome

Once a skiboarder always a skiboarder, just because you switch and you ride non existent 178cm Candides doesn't cure you from being a ass-raping retard

it is just a little lake called lake powell, except its not little, Lake Powell is Big. Lake Powell is 186 miles long and has almost 2,000 miles of shoreline. You'll find there are 96 major canyons (think of them as fingers of the lake) some of which are 15 to 20 miles in length.

yeah wakeboards are fun to dick around on but they don't have that same feeling like making a hard cut, I mean so hard that your legs hurt and your physically putting everytihng you got into it and the next thing you know your on the other side of the boat an you quickly do it all over again. I think part of it is the added speed thatgive it a rush I mean wakeboarding tops out at like 20 MPH I was doing one ski this summer at 45 mph and cutting hard thats a fuckin rush
