Hey everyone, I am a snowboarder at heart, but I have moved down to Oklahoma city and now I cant snowboard anymore but like once a year!! I need to get started with wakeboarding to fill the need Smile

I have wakeboarded a few times when I was in HS but that was about 8 years ago, but I picked it up pretty quick. I dont have a boat right now but I should be able to get one in a year or 2.

my question is, should I buy a wakeboard/bindings/lifejacket and just hang out at the lakes and see if anybody will give me a ride?? or is there some other way to make friends with people who have boats??

HELP!! I need to find people in OKC that like wakeboarding!!!!!! and will help a fellow out!!!

post up a thread in the "find a pull" section.

most people will be GLAD to let you ride if you throw down for gas money. so like I said, the Find A Pull section.
