And I sucked so hard! Man I couldn't land anything, but i was wearing a wetsuit and the water was pretty cold. I couldn't feel my hands or feet. I'm so ready for some warmer weather.

Anyone else really suck your first time out for the year? Please let me know cause i feel like i've started all over again.

yeah, I remember at the beginning of last season I couldn't get half the air I was getting the season before. It took a little while to get back to normal, hopefully it goes better this year.

After a winter of snowboarding, you try to do snowboarding on the water, and the two styles are completely different, so I ate it hard last year and the ice is only melting now. It's all good and part of the sport Smile

actually i went out yesterday, and i got more air then i've ever gotten on my last jump, it was the first time i've ever seen anybody good close up except at a cable park, so i kinda started to be able to see what i was doing wrong

I went for my first time this weekend and forgot our nice life jackets at the house. I had to wear one of those orange $5 dork jackets.

I went out for the first time this weekend and it felt great!

We got a new rope so I spent the day which was really just one set trying to make wake to wake at 75'.
Never made it, but I got close both heel and toeside.

The water is 49 degrees which was alot better than the week before at 41.
