I love watching him ride. He's only 17 too. So good. Pretty sure I saw a switch w2w 10, switch whirly 7, and hs back 9 in there. What a fucking beast.

Is wakeboarding as safe as it seems?

I wouldn't exactly call it "safe" as you're still traveling 23-25 mph, and water still hurts like shit when you catch an edge in the flats, but I guess there's more dangerous things out there. I've seen snapped tibias and fibulas, but other than that I'd say the most common injuries are blown eardrums and concussions.

it absolutely is not as "Easy" or "safe" as he made it just look.. I just went out today actually and busted my ass so hard trying to pick up where i was last season. Got a pretty good headache right now...

Not at all. AR6 is right tibia,, femur, you name it. Knees are at a huge risk as well.

I was slaloming and wiped out hardcore going around 45. Somehow I hurt my shins so badly (just by hitting the water) I can barely walk
