but until then I had never heard of wakeboarding, I haven't picked up a water-
ski or kneeboard since that day.
A wakeboard is shaped a lot like a snowboard. It is 150 cm long and
about 60 cm wide. Riding a wakeboard has been compared to surfing,

because I remembered how hard it was to get up one ski. My friends convinced me
to give it a try and I loved it. At first it was hard to get up, but after four
