A lot of the time I am able to go boarding but I can never get anyone else to go. What do yall do when you really are in the wakeboarding mood, but can't get anyone to go on the boat with you?

Watch videos, hook a rope up to a door and spin on a truck-less skateboard, come on here, jump on a tramp...

Find some new friends. Seriously, I've met probably 10 - 15 people from the boards here and on WakeWorld and they all are stoked on the sport. I went boarding with a guy and he was so surprised that I offered him gas money, and helped launch the boat, pull in the rope, etc. His usual crew apparently just sits there and complains about everything and never gives him a dime. So he was stoked to find out that there are people out there that really appreciate getting a chance to board.

Give it a try and maybe you'll make some new friends.

Yeah, depending on where you live you can find a lot of people online that are into wakeboarding and live near you. You might wanna check the find a pull forum and be more specific as to where you are located.

Well since I have this feeling a lot too, heres what I do. Play Wakeboarding Unleashed, come onto this site (which is why Im on here a lot), watch wakeboarding videos, read wakeboarding magazines, attatch my feet to a skateboard deck kinda like Maestro, go on wakeboarding websites (example: hyperlite.com) and wish I had this or that, and thats about it.

Get in the bath tub, strap on your board, and pretend your wakeboarding. Make sure to add the sound affects, and pretend your Parks Bonifay doing 900's and stuff!

I'd just go wakeboarding, I usually can get my dad or my neighbor up at my cottage to drive the boat for me, they are happy too.
I sometimes enjoy boarding by myself than with other people because it's work time behind the boat for me!
Or you can just cruise around the lake in the boat looking for girls?

This is one of the dumbest threads ever. Evil or Very Mad

Sounds like you need to get over the fact that you can't "wake" everyday and get a life!

I just pretend to wakeboard on the trampoline.

Well, I am sad to say that I have a life, but wish to wakeboard every day. I wish that I would have been warned that once you get out of college that you are relegated to work for the rest of your life.

i think all of the people who want to ride everyday should move to florida together, get a big house, and do just that WAKEBOARD EVERYDAY!! work to afford rent and food and be happy.
problem solved....
so like jerry mcguire - who's coming with me? Laughing

boardindan - clermont is exactly where i want to move to and c'mon, the weather can't be that bad! i am sure it beats rain and only 5 mo. of warm enough weather! drysuits are cool with me and i do have the balls to get in. Very Happy

Remeber that PWC kinda thing that let you "Ride Solo". The handle had controls on it to steer the PWC and control speed. If you fell down, it would start going in circles or something and a flag would pop up. It was in WBM's awhile ago and Gerry Nunn was the guy riding behind it. Does anyone remember this??

whirlygirl, I'm sure my boss would be fine w/ it, I've already packed my stuff up to move this weekend, I might as well just keep driving east to florida, so where is it you want me to pick you up?
