I guess around 31? Maybe 1991 or so. There've been a few threads like this.

Or, if you consider a trick slalom comparable then it's about 16.

Late 80s on a skurfer, then a directional Hyperlite, then a true twin tip board.

vance, Yup.....13 years, but probably only 6-7 years seriously. Alot of that time I would only go out like 2-3 times a year.

16 - 6 years now. The last two have been fairly lame due to the lack of a boat/riding partner.

39, started on the 4th of July, will be 40 in two weeks. No better present to myself than taking up this wonderful sport. BTW, landed my first w2w last Sunday. I'm still pretty stoked about that one.

started when I was 28... now I'm 30, and I should have progressed a lot faster. I guess slow progression makes it fun. Not like I planned to go pro or anything
