I am into skiing, but I plan on getting into wakeboarding. Is it very hard?

Been barefoot waterskiing for 20 odd years and wakeboarding , hydro sliding and anything else that causes carnage behind the Salem for 10 years .

i wakeboard and sometimes wakeskate...

Wakeskating is so hard its not funny....

If your going to gget a board and you can afford it, get a hyperlite...

yep i wakeboard, kneeboard and ski. Or just got a trick kneeboard they are sick as. Make sure uve got a big pole. Makes it soo much funner. Im lovin the kneeboard atm. They just slide and u can get really big air on them. I love it

ive got a few mates who compete in wakeboarding comps.
one used to be Australian bare foot skiing champ, and now is trying to become a pro wakeboarder, i havent seen him do it, but ive heard he is damn amazing.

Ok am I going to be the first to ask WTF is wakeboarding???

Sounds like some kind of kinky sex act... but then again, that could just be the way my mind works

I'm pretty sure those things on her chest float.

here's a few pics of what it's about. Pics of wake slam jam in brisbane, taken from wake.com.au

I'm into it a bit, I have some mates who are right into it so i tag along once a month or so. They don't have any bindings that fit my feet comfortably so i tend to go for the alternatives. I have a decent scar on the back of one leg from an incident involving a tube and poor judgement. I also challenge anyone to get towed behind a boat superman style, like you would liing down ona surfboard, but, without any board. it is good fun.
