Have you ever been splashing through water, swerving back and forth having so much convivial time that you don't even cognizance everything going on around you? If you have, you have probably been Wakeboarding,or skiing. Wakeboarding can show your personality through your moves,performing acrobatic maneuvers while being towed behind a motor boat.I started Wakeboarding when I was nine,at first I was very frightened to get pulled abaft the boat.¨You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to ride them¨.Wakeboarding is like learning to walk, but more fun.I sail across the water,I don’t descend in the water,I can't go on land without something under me,I rumble and I roar,I can't be slowed down,momentum is my thing,now let me tell you what I am,I …show more content…
Once a year me and my family go boating,we always have a convivial time.Last year,it was the first time camping that year,before we left I checked and made sure I had everything I need for boating,the board,the bindings,the rope,the gloves,the life jackets,and the laces,yep that is everything,I need to make sure I have a pleasant time Wakeboarding.When we got there we set up the camp site and then we headed out to the lake.The boat ready looking burnish and shiny enough that you can see the sun reflecting off of it at the other end of the lake.Me and my brothers had an enjoyable time my grandma brought us flippers and goggles.That night when we got back to camp we had hot dogs and then went to bed.The next morning we woke up, and went to go get ready to go boating,and It turned out a raccoon got into our cooler in our boat and had eaten all the lunch meat.We went to town and bought more food and then when we got back we tried to get the motor to run again,yet again it didn't run,my dad didn't want to wasted a whole day of boating, so we took the boat to the lake and loaded it in the water,its a good thing we had my uncle with us,my dad unhooked the boat and my uncle lifted the motor.It worked, we got it in the water, but then it would start it kept dying,when my dad took the truck up and parked it.We drifted while we waited until my dad got back but when we wernt paying attention crash it bashed into a tree and hit the side of the boat it dented the side, but not enough to …show more content…
The next weekend we went camping again so since our boat wasn't working, we took our grandpas boat.well I guess we were bad luck because we were skiing and me and Lexi fell so dad turned the boat off so I could Wakeboard and it wouldn't turn back on.To this day our boat still won't run right.My dad is looking to trade it in for a new boat that has extra water bags they call them fat bags they sit under the boat and when you are Wakeboarding you flip the switch and it fills the bags with water, causing the bow to go up and more weight to be on back causing a bigger wake to do more flips,jumps,and slides.If we don't get a new boat we are gonna get a new truck,but i'm really hoping for the new boat,the only thing is out of seven people in our family and only two us can Wakeboard.hopefully I get better and i can be the youngest person to win the Wakeboarding
