Wakeboarding speech HELP!

Ok I am doing a informative speech (6 minutes long) about wakeboarding. I have to use two visual aides during the speech, I figured I would show my board and show part of a dvd. I was going to talk about the history of wakeboarding, how to make a board, how to get up on a wakeboard and describe the different parts and aspects of a board. Does anybody know where I can get some of this information from? Or know of a way I can go about doing this.

Thanks

David

You could talk about all of those things in a several hour seminar, and still have room for more. Why not just touch on a couple smaller things? Maybe a report on how it all started, how much it's grown in the last years, followed by a short video?

And use powerpoint.

also, maybe talk about using trampolines, and some similar sports, like wakeskating!

You can get a history of wakeboarding on the PWT website www.prowakeboardtour.com

I agree though - if you hit all of those topics you will only be touching those topics and not giving enough information on it....If you are like me I can practice it to a tee, but then I speak about double what I did in practice and end up with alot of extra time in my speech to fill, so have a plan to fill it in with other information if you have the time..

I could addlib 6 minutes worth. Just hit everything quickly, and not in depth, and maybe you won't go over 10 minutes.

also you might want to mention the, I guess, ethnographic side of it. How it in itself has become a culture and a society...
