Wakeboarding

Finally got down to trying it. It's really the cost that's a deterant, that and the lack of company. Anyway, got a good deal at 60 for half a day, shared with 4 other people.

Thought I'll be good at it. It's something I always wanted to do and so the mindset's right. But it's a semi success. Managed to move up. Once up, splash. So not a complete failure, yet definately not successful either. I also thought I'll be able to do it, since I've learnt wind surfing before, both sports use boards. Retrospectively though, I wasn't that good at it either.

It's a good workout. Worked the arms, esp the lower arms, wrist. Whatever muscles there are there. The abs feel worked on the next day. So it's a feel good feeling, to have exercised. Maybe that's the addicitive part for gym going people. Once you feel the 'high' of it, you just can't get enough.

PS: Would be better to move around the boat topless in trunks. Get a much better, even tan than clothes on.
