I'm new to wakeboarding this season. Was dating a really awesome wakeboarder, but was always too afraid to try it in front of him. Now that we arent dating, I started taking lessons. I'm so glad that I'm using a coach, and learning on the boom, out of the wake. I'm heavier, with a very large chest, and had been out of shape for a VERY long time when I first went, and I couldn't get out of the water. Now I can, and once you get up, holding on isn't so hard. I'm so glad that my ex didn't see me on my first two lessons! Do push-ups everyday, and squeeze a tennis ball to build up your forearms. I went from seven to 35 push-ups in two weeks. Yesterday was my second lesson, and even though I'm crappy at it, my whole body is sore from head to toe, I drank half the lake, and I had to go directly to work afterwards, I love this sport and can't wait to get back on the lake!
