Fatigue

I get tired after a five minute run, as in the next run i am just riding with one hand cause my arm is cramping up so badly. Now, I am a soccer player, have pretty good stamina, so should it really be this killer?

Was it your first time? Wakeboarding and other watersports use different muscles than normal.

Was the water choppy? I have gone a couple of times when its choppy and it seems to wear me out alot faster.

my first couple months i couldnt last more then 5 minutes a run before tired, cramping, etc.. by the end of the summer 10 minute runs no problem.

Like Justin said, wakeboarding uses different muscles than soccer. If you're in good cardio shape that is definitely a big plus as far as getting winded, but wakeboarding muscles are different from soccer muscles. The only real solution: Ride, ride, and ride some more.

While I do go to the gym regularly, the fact that I ride so much is why I don't get sore from wakeboarding (I do get sore from falling so much though. Laughing

) I've been out 3 days in a row every week for the past four WEEKS in a row. It makes a difference. Cool

Ahh thanks guys, ya I kind of noticed that muscles i didnt know existed were cramping up. I try to go as much as possible, maybe once or twice a week, but school kinda blocks my schedule. Cant wait till summer comes arounds.

What's already been said. I'm old and abused, I used to stop from fatigue. Now, I usually stop from smacking my head or nuts.
