*PICS* Wakeboarding in San Diego this morning

So I've lived here 12 years now, never surfed (but body boarded a lot), never wakeboarded (but avid snowboarder). I just never knew anyone who had a boat or went out often.

So now on Wednesday mornings me and two buddies are gonna head out to do a few runs. One guy bought a used boat, 4,000. Runs great, holds 3 people with ease, 4 is a little tight. Usually wakeboard around 25mph or so, feels a lot faster when you get whipped around on a curve.

So this was my first time, I was nervous about getting up the first time. When I first snowboarded it was terrible, the entire first day was painful and frustrating. I was afraid this would be the same, but it was WAY easier. I got up on the 3rd attempt and after that could get up consistently.

I didn't do any jumps, and tried to stay out of the wake at most times, but I'll slowly build up to more daring moves as I gain experience.

We hit the dock at 6:30am, were out there until about 9am. Great time overall, water was really warm, weather was overcast which was good because it meant no wind.

Here is me after getting up!

most of these shots are similar so I won't post many, I'll get some up of my friends jumping and doing tricks.

Here's one of me riding a bit in the wake, a little more serious than the first shot.

I'm sore already, hamstrings and forearms.

Looks like fun. I tried to get up on a wakeboard once behind a buddies boat, but couldnt quite do it.
the first two times the boat pulled away were a nightmare, I ended up swallowing water, felt like my arms were gonna get ripped out of their sockets, but both guys with me told me a couple small corrections and BAM I was up on the next try and could get up everytime after.

I tried about 8 times. There was 4 other people in the boat so I just said fuck it after that.
