Should You Bother Wakeboarding? Kind of Like Surfing, But Easier?

Wakeboarding is probably about as common as water skiing. It’s something you might have seen on TV - if you’ve even heard of it - but never in real life. And even if you have, unless you own a boat or live near a water park that accommodates it, you probably don’t practise it that often.Growing up in the middle of Irish countryside, we didn’t have a need for a boat, believe it or not. So we went into this sport knowing diddly squat, or, absolutely f**k all, in layman’s terms. But the opportunity came up in Thailand, so why the hell not. Coincidentally the 2022 IWWF World Cable Wakeboard & Wakeskate Championships were being hosted a few miles away, the very day we tried it out. Which is obviously not where we tried it, but who knows? Maybe next year?It’s basically surfing but you’re pulled along by a cable. Can it really be that hard?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
