Bigger not better

Went wakeboarding again yesterday morning. Great weather with lots of sun (got a great tan), but spent most of the session in the water. We used a different boat yesterday with a way more powerful motor so the wakes were bigger than usual. Coupled with the fact that the water was pretty choppy, it made for a wipe-out friendly environment.




Because of the bigger wakes, I was able to get a lot more air than usual, but natuarally that meant a lot more crash and burn. My highlight of the day was when I made a spectaclar take-off, realized halfway into the air that my rope was slack, and then crash in a way that almost sterilized me.

But at least I managed to do a decent heelside jump. It doesn't look like much, but at my stage of development, it was pretty exciting.

Anyhoo, there was an advanced guy playing next to us working on his jumps. This is where I hope to be soon:

But I'll probably have to get through hours of this first:
