Hi to everyone!
I'd like to share with you my second experience at Wake Parkš
It was a bit cloudy in the morning so as soon as I got into the park I decided to get my morning coffee to wake up finallyā
To be honest after first ride on the wakeboard my body was so sore. Later that day I had a night out with girlfriends and I could barely get my make up done because my hands were shaking after 2 hours of wakeboardingš Now I can definitely say I wouldn't recommend to spend on the wakeboard more than 1 hour for the first time if you don't want to to repeat my mistakeš
So this morning having my coffee and watching at other riders I still wasnāt sure if Iām ready for the second time. I literally didnāt want to spend few more days with a pain in my muscles. Anyway the more you look at people on the boards having fun the more you want to try againš
Here is my first full circle at Wake park!
By the way itās really important to choose a wake boards which fits you perfect. You should feel that itās absolutely comfortable for you. I did a mistake this time when I chose a board which matches with my life jacket colour (so girlish I knowš) but doesnāt really fits me (it was smaller than it should be)š So first two rides were unsuccessful and I fell down into the water in 5-10 meters after start.
As soon as I got the right size of the board I started to ride almost without any fails. I could ride the whole circle at my second time at the park! Thatās a really great result and even my coach asked me did I ride before or not, at least on a snowboardš But I didnāt! All my life I thought Iām absolutely useless in any kind of sport (I go to the gym but anyway itās not a any particular sport Iād say).
Once I was thrown out of the shoes on the turn, hitting the wave so I flew to one side and the wakeboard flew to the other side but anyway I'm still alive and writing this postš
Here is happy me having rest and getting sunbath after wakeboarding
I'm really excited because I see that I'm learning pretty fast and my next goal is to start the ride with a jump like on the first video above.
