yeah, i know what you mean rich, due to my lack of time and well, frankly, lack of a wake, i was unable to really progress before this year. i finally went out and got a board taht i really liked the feel of and it has helped me to progress, not to mention i finally have a boat that at least tries to make a wake. the best part about it though, even when i was behind our (gulp) tri-toon, i just loved getting up early in the morning and getting out there. if you're having wakeboarding blues, try getting a wake skate, they're wicked fun and just something else to do. my fall back is slalom skiing, which i am wayyy better at than wakeboarding, probably because i have been doing it since i was 12, and i have only been wakeboarding really the past two years, even though i have owned a board since 03. hope that helps man, just remember, "shredding" is to each his own, so i like to "shred" with my w2w 180 attempts, so get out there and shred!
