![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Wakeboarding I've just gotten into wakeboarding and am loving it, it was an easy transition from snowboarding. My Q is, I bought a board of Ebay it came withough fins (I didn't know they had them normaly) anyway, is it worth me getting fins for the board? I've been using it without and have no problems but wonder if I'm missing out.

I've been doing it behind our jet ski so surfings out, its hard enough to get enough of a wake to get any air, the only way is to get my overweight sister in law to ride on the back of the jet ski and go slow enough to keep the back end low. ![]() Just kidding but really its true.........................

Surf board in the wake of the boat... Gotta fill the waterbags to get the biggest possible wake you can.... We pulled these kids for around 10 minutes at slow speeds across mabel lake..... Very cool to see.... Had several other boats coast along beside us just watching the kids wake surf.

Board has a kind of grated soft rubber surface(kinda sticky) and when you "hit it", they just kinda roll up onto the board and quickly straighten the board and they're off.... Girls usually have a little trouble, because its all arm strength, but my daughter made it up 2nd try.... We played beachboys music all the pull.... Way cool!

You don't have to pull very fast, just need big wake! Think it was about 9.5kph, if i'm not mistaken

Hanging onto the rope transfer your weight to your foot over the water. Ease your self out with the rope. Get surfing then let go of rope, when done get somone to pass you the rope, pull your self back in and you never even get wet,way cool!
P.S I got wet alot trying to learn this!!!

![]() | Re: Wakeboarding Originally Posted by Summitric Summitric, how long ago were you at Mable Lake? I just got back from a 2 week vacation there, we rented the White House at Mabel Lake Resort. We put on 29.5 hours on our Malibu in the 2 weeks we were there, i'll post pics when i get a chance but like i say just got back so i haven't had a chance to post yet!!! You may have seen us on the dock we had my black/ orange Malibu wakesetter VLX, a buddies yellow/ white Malibu wakesetter 23' XTI, and another blue/ black wakesetter direct drive. If you saw our boats you'll probably remember the young lady driving the Mastercraft X-15 (red/ silver)with fake boobies.......WOW..O..WOW. God bless implants, total MILF.
