It was my first time. I got out of the wake and was able to go back and forth between it. It was a lot of fun but it also made me pretty darn sore. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to try something fun though.

Did you do it on 1 or 2 skis?

I used to water ski when I was younger. A freaky thing happenned the last time I went, I was on twwo skis and I started wondering why you never hit your head on a ski when you fall... Of course two minutes later, I fall, hit my head on the ski and need 4 stitches. I'd still go back though, I just haven't had the oportunity.

I lied, it wasn't the first time I skiied, but it was the first I actually did anything good with it. The first time I stood up and skiied for about 10 seconds...Then some slack hit me, I got unbalanced, and ended up hitting the water jewels first. That hurt like crazy.

I used two skiis.

I really wanna try it, but its probably alot harder than it looks.

Actually it's not hard at all. The only tricky part is getting up, after that you're just along for the ride. It's a lot of fun, I'd reccomend it to anyone.

He's right. It took me a couple tries to get up, but once I got up it was really easy. The only thing that scared me was getting out of the wake, but even that wasn't hard..

I loved water skiing as long as my dad wasn't driving the boat. I've only been a few times and did fairly well... to me that means getting up and staying up long enough to enjoy it. When my dad drives however, his goal is not to help the skiier stay up... but to see how fast he can make them fall once they're up.

I used to ski alot, I even been in a few competitions. Its kinda like riding a bike, once you do it, you never forget. Wait until you try bare foot. (no skis, just feet) Its the strangest feeling, and takes quite some time to get it right. including some face plants.

No skiis sounds like a lot of fun, I'm not sure if I'm ready to try that though
