I learned how to wakeboard behind my family’s 1986 Glastron. It was not built for wakeboarding or really any other sport like it. I was using an O’Brien board from about 2001. It was really big, much too big for me. My dad took me out to drive the boat, and I got up second try. It was really cool the first time, but when I actually started getting some air, it felt freakin awesome. (That took like another two seasons to actually learn, though) It’s pretty similar to snowboarding, just has a different feel since your hanging onto a rope and your in the water.
Since then I’ve gotten a pylon and some ballast for our boat, along with a new board, and I have really improved. It really builds muscle, and I hear chicks dig it. But that’s what my dad says, so who knows. :)
If anyone needs anything, hit me up!
