Wakeboarding

Wakeboarding Strapped in floating helplessly in the water I wondered what is going to happen. The engine starts and I start to get nervous with jitters, the same question repeating in my mind what is going to happen.” It was my first time attempting to wakeboard. I had learned how to kneeboard years before and loved to tube but the wakeboard was different. It needed talent not something you could just do.

Wakeboard on the other hand makes it arduous to swim or even float in the water. The board was bright red and yellow with a black strip going down…

My friend and I immediately exchanged glances as to determine who would attempt wakeboarding first. “Connor wants to try it!” my friend exclaimed as he…

Being on the lake is not only just an entertaining thing to do on the weekends but it’s also a hobby that I really believe…

I had been wakeboarding before so I knew how to, but it was my cousin's first time, so it was funny to watch them because they fell a lot. They couldn’t even stand up for a while, and once they would stand up they couldn’t keep their balance and would topple over. We also had a lot of fun tubing. Sometimes, we would play games on the tube, like seeing who could stay on the longest without holding on. After we were tired out , we got to tie dye shirts. We made matching ones, and one they were…
