Well living down here in Oz I probably do more waterskiing than snow skiing (damm!). but yeah prob more people do tricks with wakeboards because you don't have to go as fast. to waterski properly got to go faster and it definitely can hurt when you fall, water looks soft but not at 30 miles an hour.

i imagine that if u used a wakeboard cut in half you could go the same speed as if you were wakeboarding, doesnt that make sense?

Yeah it might work. I guess if you had two sort of skiblades for water and see how that went and then worked up to longer skis.... Isn't that how Line started with their skis, intially producing skiblades then eventually longer stuff?

Think problem is that because you can sink in water the greater surface area of a wakeboard distributes your weight more evenly across the surface (like that bed of nails trick). So skis, because of lower surface area, need more speed to skim across water? Don't know if that makes sense or if its true, just thinking of some random bullshit.

a wakeboard cut in half would have the same surface area of a wakeboard

I do a lot of slalom but my lake is so small that there isn't even a course... so i cant tell you if I'm good or not.

Once though I held the handle with by back foot and like waved at people on other boats. It was pretty gay but still funny.

Anyone else ever get a boner while you're water skiing? Its pretty humiliating because its unhidable and most of the time there is at least one family member in the family in my boat.

about the parachute thing its called kiteboarding, its super sick, i really wanna try it, i dont think it would work with skiing tho, because it would be tough to hold an edge with a kite ulling u sideways

A boner is hidable.Just grab your dick and stick it in between your skin and the elastic band of your bathsuit.Of course,if you ski with speedos you are either German or gay....But i've had more than 300 boners when waterskiing(cause i trained with 2 awesome hot chicks,lucky me)and i proved everyone wrong when they said boners weren't hidable.
