After spending a year on combo waterskis, I finally convinced my just turned 7 twins to give wakeboarding a try. (They snow ski like banshees, so I started with waterskis.) To my amazement, they both popped up and rode down the lake like bosses. It's great to be 50 pounds I guess! It's gonna be interesting to see whether they prefer skiing or boarding by the end of the summer. Obviously I'd prefer them to focus on boarding, but I'm doing my best to let them decide for themselves ....
