Wakeboard Season is Almost Upon Us!

Skidder · 2 Jul 2011 at 11:39

Just got back from hols with plenty of boat riding (about 6 or 7 tows I guess). Certainly not doing anything spectacular but much more consistent now wake to wake and more comfortable riding switch.

Nice one skidder.

Going to a mates birthday at WMski tomorrow. hopefully ive got my gopro in my bag. First time I would have used it since march time-ish.

fell head first quite hard yesterday at jbski and my helmet wasn't on tight enough and managed to smash me in the face and give me a bit of a shiner but worse than that I have just had a cold and the fall seems to have caused my entire right side of my face to block up painfully (i guess as water went into my blocked nose and ear forcing all the gunk to compress!)

lamest injury ever!

Haha nice....

Worst is when you face plant so hard you can feel the water get pushed around the sides of your eye balls.... WTF

Skidder · 2 Aug 2011 at 13:46

All kinds of stuff has been pouring out of my nose and the pressure has eased, still look like I've been in a bundle though!

HAHAHA....eeeeeewwww...

off to MK tomorrow. Got a 3 of the end of the large a-frame last week. Going to try and gap it tomorrow; and try the new rainbow slider. Off to sheff next weekend for a mates birthday. They got a new rooftop that used the old ski ramp. nice few session lined up.

Unlimited riding at WMski for £20 over the winter. If you've got a thick wetsuit.... Awesome.

Looking forward to getting out again soon, put my snowboards away for the season week before last so time for a change back to the water (and not being half as good as I am on snow

)

I went to hipnotics about 3-4 weeks ago.

It snowed.

Alex_6n2 · 4 Apr 2012 at 21:15

I'm off for my first session this weekend at WMSki. Can't wait

Need a new helmet though. Meh

Just got my new board, compulsory picture.

LF Watson Classic 141 with Vantage OT bindings.

As long as the weather is good, I am off out on it next weekend.

kiteloopy · 12 Apr 2012 at 21:04

nice!! you might want a bit of duct tho...and a wider stance.

You got the same bindings as me, altho mine are white/black and closed toe.

I've only bolted the bindings to the board at the moment, I am going to properly set them up next weekend.

Alex_6n2 · 12 Apr 2012 at 22:33

Awesome. Love the design too

Skidder · 13 Apr 2012 at 15:34

Hopefully be able to pop out to jbski this weekend all being well.

Determined to make good progress this year.

Mikey1982 · 14 Feb 2019 at 12:37

anyone know where I can take a jetski to wakeboard behind.

Skidder · 7 Sep 2020 at 11:32

Any wakeboarders still around?

I got a new set up and had a tow at the weekend. Slingshot nomad 155 and Hyperlite defacto boots.

I haven't ridden much last few years. Just a few times a year but my son is showing interst so want to get properly back into it.

Well third tow in and I landed sketchily and caught an edge and literally ripped my binding in two!
