wakesurf

[formandfunction]

Can't seem to shake the fear of injury from wakeboarding.I don't know whats wrong with me I usually bounce back pretty well but even if I could another injury can not be afforded.We talked about doing some wakesurfing and decided it might be a good idea.We are newbies so we don't need anything nice.Does anybody have a old board they don't use anymore and might be willing to sell?Info on what board to buy new would be helpfull too.
Also Can I use the same ballast I would use for wakeboarding or do people use something special?

I too have have wakeboarding fears, so I have taking up wakeskating. The bailouts are less painful and it is alot of fun. Wake surfing is next on my to do list as soon as the boss approves the funds for the FAE. I have been finding good wake surf boards on craigslist.

Thats what I thought when I started having knee pain so we started wakeskating.back in may I landed wrong and fractured my fibula so I don't think its much safer.

I've put myself in the ER last year by tearing my adominal muscles and the ER room thought that might have a hernia because of a jump on a wakeboard.

This year, I have pulled my groin muscle from a fall on a wakeboard. Not a bad pull and didn't keep me from wakeboarding but did stop me for 2 weeks to heal.

With all watersports, there is a chance of injury. I just try and stay within my limits and do what I feel comfortable. With all my "skills", there isn't any possibility that I will become a professional any time soon.

Hydrofoil is the way to go!!! I was out throwing rolls 2 weeks after minor knee surgery. If you live in OKC, I have a couple of buddies you could go out with and try to ride the hydrofoil. Let me know...

A guy threw a roll right beside us last weekend and I can say the hydrofoil looks bad a**.

The price of admission looks pretty high though.

Hydrofoil = Airchair??? Saw one on the lake last week and I agree, THAT looks AWESOME!! How hard is it to learn??

I am always a little nervous when I am wakeboarding and attempting jumps, but so far I have kept myself from injury. Wakesurfing is awesome for that reason.

I second the Hydrofoil (Airchair or SkySki). I am getting to the point where I think I get enough air for a flip, but working up the courage to try. I have taken some good falls... people in the boat always ask, "are you OK?". Never hurts... must look a lot worse than it is.

Surfing is also great for pain free activity

Whats wakesurfing?

I prefer to Freestyle Walking!

Im just getting real sick of injury.Everytime the humidity gets high I have pains all over my body from previous motorcycle and work related breaks(Lost a good deal of money also).Anything that involves water without pain is worth a try in my book.Even if we don't dig it I can pass the board on to someone else but from the videos Ive seen on here it looks pretty fun.
