logan91077 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Are any of you still wakeboarding? Seems like everyone is just surfing these days. Hell i have seen plenty of boats getting out at 7am surfing. Not that i mind, it takes the pressure off me. The slalom guys must hate the surfers much more than my modest wakeboard wake.

Nordicron Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Shawn that looks like some good pop! But yeah I'll be out b and e tomorrow morning brand new parks ronix camber board! Can't wait! But I see what the OP means lots of surf talk on the forums now seems like more surf that wakeboard. Also anytime u walk into the dealers first thing they ask is if I surf! Probably cuz I'm a old dude I guess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkySki Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I haven't wake-boarded in at least 4, maybe 5 years. I do still ride my sky ski, but mainly I surf. I can get some good crashes on the sky ski, but never as bad as on the wakeboard. And with surfing, the falls are like jumping in a swimming pool.

oldsmobiledriver Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I have became worse at wakeboarding as the years go by lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawndoggy Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I'm definitely getting worse too, and I've got a torn meniscus so my knee starts to hurt after a decent set. Surfing seems to be a bit more foregiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBofTexas Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 My whole family wakeboards. I'm 43/wife 36/boys 7 and 11. We surf secondary if we have time or water is rough. We would prob surf more if wasn't such a pain in my a$$ to fill bags. Nordicron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wake'n Up Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I wakeboard very little. I was too old when I started to ever get really good and now too scared to try much. I'm 45 and just getting into the sport. Avoiding injury is key, but man I really want to go wake to wake being as competitive as I am. If I can do that and learn to switch and progress at a decent rate and add in more minor tricks then I will be happy. I bought our MB for the simple fact that surfing is just one more thing to try and do.......but really I bought the boat to go out and have fun and make great memories with family and friends. stevenrue and Shawndoggy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Donfather Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I am 48. Started boarding about 6 years ago. Have only gone W2W a handfull of times. I have a blown knee only thing keeping it together is the arthritis. That is why we are slowly switching to surfing. I still love to board although, just do a ton of surface tricks on my finless slingshot. I ride no ballast 65-70 feet at 21.5 mph.

Moto817 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 2014 F24 . 75', full ballast plus 450 in bow walkway with 5 people in boat at 23.5 is perfect! Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm 39 and started riding this summer. Cant get enough! I love the technical aspect of it and the learning process. I'm riding 65' at 21 mph with full ballast on my F21. I had an older super air nautique that i bought for surfing but it became such a pain to fill bags only to get a mediocre wave that i started wakeboarding instead. I really didn't expect to love it as much as i do. rrd525 and The Donfather 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
