I had such a blast today. Wakeboarding is indeed awesome fun, but tiring! So much for having a power boat pull you on water and yet u feel so tired after.
Anyway, the weather didn't start off that great this morning. Woke up to a gloomy morning with a slight drizzle. But that didn't dampen the mood for any of us. The session lasted from about 9am all the way to 4pm and each of us got to go several rounds on the water. Thank God the sky cleared by noon and there was finally some sun shining on down!
Uncle Robert the coach was really patient and cool. He's a good person to have teach any beginners coz he really encourages and never gives up on you till you at least get to stand upright on the board. Uh um.... pardon some boasting here... hehehee... I'm proud to say that I actually managed to get up on my first attempt, although it did not last for long. Thanks to a great coach and great friends, who were also great assistant coaches and loud hailers, who practically repeated and shouted out loud whatever instructions the coach had to say when I was on the water. Hahaha. Managed to get quite a few decent rides... my objective for now is just to stand up for long enough. Next step will be learning to go from side to side.
There was a good mix on the boat, some more abled than other beginners like me. But its all good coz they help and guide u along the way. Wakeboarding day ended with a nice BBQ by the docks. Nice atmosphere topped up with charred grilled chicken wings, sausages, chips and booze. Certainly was one heck of a day out. Bet I'm gonna have sucha great sound sleep tonight. Can't wait for the next session again! Wooohoo!
