Jetskiing. I actually just sold mine a few weeks ago but my boys all still have them.
We ride out out of Moriches Inlet (Long Island) and into the ocean. Lots of good times hitting waves. Especially when there is a tropical storm moving up the coast.

I started wakeboarding but this year I've taken up skiing and actually like it better I think. I'm trying to figure out the course currently. I do however still wakeboard when I can.

yeah man def. try and get into the course it makes slalom a lot more fun! Timing is super important but try and just get a little outside each buoy before cutting back. good luck!
