...On a different scale, It is more like a fast bend on a Harley.
Scraping pipe is not something I strive for... Makes me want a Night Rod or a Buell.

I don't have any great shots doing tricks, am nowhere near the level of Eracer76, but thought I would post a pic anyways. I got up the first try after a couple years of no wakeboarding. Like riding a bike. Felt awesome and will be going again very soon!

Exclamation Hey

Looks like we have quite a few Jeepers on here that like surfing the wake
Very cool

Below is a snazzy little move that my otherhalf likes to pull.
He has been doing it since he was a kid.
The trick is to lean right on when you cut right to the point where your shoulder is almost touching the water.
Then bounce yourself off the water.
You can't fall otherwise it is just a beef...you need to bounce back up and keep skiing.

I have yet to be able to pull it off.
Almost- but that doesn't count

Speaking of "surfing the wake" ....

My friend who is/was a longtime ski junkie, used to be on the show team and all that just had a roomie move in who has a nice Mastercraft ski boat. I never used to be too into waterskiing or anything, but they've converted me, and we've spent a lot of weekends on the water this summer.

My favorite thus far, which no one has mentioned, is wake surfing. Anyone else into that?

I've tried wake surfing- and would like to do it more

...Barefooting and slalom skiing are what we do most.
