I’ve been reading on here for a while and finally wanted to ask a question. I know this is probably a heavily biased board but I’m hoping for some good opinions. My boys have become interested in wake boarding which means I caught the bug for watersports again. Back in my youth (39 years old now and a lot slimmer) I would waterski with the family. No competition and never really did learn deep water slalom starts. I haven’t touched a slalom ski in probably 25 years now so either way I go, slalom or wake boarding, I will have to buy something new. Wake boards did not exist back then and not sure which way to go. The wife really can’t drive the boat well and to help I’m going to be installing a PerfectPass over the winter. I don’t intend on flipping, etc. I just want to have fun. Which would be easier and not as rough on the body assuming the following…
slalom ski would be a newer open-water type ski (HO Freeride, Radar Butter Knife, etc.) at slower speed
wakeboard such as Ronix District with just a little jumping, ollies, 180’s from my old skateboarding days
What would you’ll do?
