Longboards, unicycles, waterskis…when will it ever end? Probably once I move out of the house and have to pay bills… 
So this time, I got a new waterski. It’s a 61" H-O Sports “Judge” with “Venom” bindings. I got to try it out for the first time yesterday, which was only my 2nd day slalom skiing. And boy am I sore!
So does anybody else waterski?
Barefoot skiing is the way to go.Much healthier for your feet!
Yeah man… I slalom every weekend during the sumer. Some people on the lake have put in a slalom course and it gets well used. My best is 32 off @30 MPH.
Is that your first ski with double boots? If it is, you will love them! You will feel WAY more confidant crossing the wakes with them, and you back foot won’t ever get ripped out of the binding.
This is me last summer.
Yea, this is my first ski ever. I used my uncle’s old '85 Connelly trainer to learn on, then bought this baby. I really do love it!
I tried it about 20 years ago. That was only my second or third time. I did not have trouble getting up on 2 skis but once I got up, all I could do was just ski. I managed to get over the wake a time or two. After a few minutes the driver got bored and opened up the throttle as fast as the boat would go. I managed to hold on for several minutes. When I finally lost control, I stepped out of the skiis and took about 3 or 4 giant steps across the top of the water then BANG!! I hit the water hard. That was the only time I have ever walked on water. 
I was sore for days afterward.
That was my last adventure with water skiing.
I’ve waterskiied once, then I slalomed once (lost a ski 
).
wakeboarding > waterskiing
I’ve done it once at a friends camp, but i mostly kneeborded. I wiped really good 2wise. The waves where really choppy and it was windy, and my first time so…
In your opinion.
^Mine too.
Cool.
When people ask me if I board after I tell them I ski, I say:
“No, I not bored.” 
wakeboard is far superior to skiing.
in my opinion.
i just dinf it easier and funner
how can a category of something be better than the general name for it??
Tyler, where excactly in Waswhington do you live at?
i do
what the heck did you get that good of a ski for when you have only done it once before???
w/e
my dad’s first tournament… he passed the beginner division and didn’t know how to use the gates
so he didn’t make it
but it was also his 2nd time ever
A few weeks ago I knee boarded with a cast on one hand!
It took lot’s of duck tape and some sore muscles the next day but it was a success!
Because I plan to improve quickly and not waste my money on a piece of junk starter ski that won’t last me.
Tyler does your family have a boat? And a lake to do this on?
No, but my uncle and his friends do. I ski with them most weeks in the summer.
Then in the winter it’s all about snow skiing. Now I can just say I “ski,” not specify which kind… 
Jerrick - I live about 1 hour from Seattle on the Puget Sound.
Where’s your other ski?
