Wakeboarding~

Wakeboarding is really fun and really really really TIRING~!~! My whole body is aching after our wakeboarding session yesterday~ Especially in the arms, shoulders, back and waist area... My ankle injury was aggravated because of the turning action required when you try to change direction of the board... Knees aren't doing well too... Haha! Need to strengthen them before the next session~!

What i really love about this session was the company and the weather~ The weather was great, not too hot, not too cold, really perfect for wakeboarding~ The water was VERY SALTY though... swallowed quite a mouthful especially when i crashed into the water face first~! I had the honor of having rachel and khor kai on this trip~ rachel, quite a beginner managed to ride out of the wave heel-side! great accomplishment! as for khor kai, she is a pro lah~! at least to us, she could hold the handle with one hand, ride out with one hand, and she rides in and out of the water with much ease!! should have seen her, SO COOL~! haha~!

As for me, i was able to ride out across 1 wave toe-side, and back in (and out again) across 2 waves heel-side! I finally crashed trying to ride back into the center toe-side... To me, i have jus hit another milestone in wakeboarding~! Next one, i'm going to try to jump the waves~! i dunno how to describe all that has happened because i dunno the terms wakeboarders use~ But i'm sure you guys know what i'm talking about and can imagine what it looks like ba~!

We took some videos and photos, will upload them soon!! Jus stick around~! :) Oh, one more thing, the company we went for is Punggol Sea Sports Accessories. The boat was quite old, but the driver is really experienced! He knows how to requlate the speed to suit our needs and situation~ So i think for $85/h, it is really worth it~!

Wakeboarding! Expensive but REALLY FUN!!
