That's not a ski. It looks more like a dining room table. LOL

Who knew water skiing was such a great weight loss tool:headscratch:

LOl.. Ski worked out great:thumbsup
*First try, submarined again.
*Second try, I was ontop of the water standing up and the observer thought becuae of all the water spalshing around I was under so they told the driver to stop.....:bash: There I went back into the deep green of Elsinore:thumbsdown.
*Third try, submarined again.
*Fourth try, popped right up and was cutting back and forth without any issues.

Things were going so good I figured it was just a fluke, so I dropped the line and had them restart a couple time. Popped up without issues. Got the technique down pretty good. Thinking back about the failures and success's it seems when I made it a point to really suck my knees up to my chest, tuck the back of the ski up as close to my butt as possible, then extend my arms as close to the front of the ski as possible it was a lot easier. I think I had the ski too far out from my body on the failures.

Either way, good times and I'm tired as hell. Probably ski'd for a total of 25-30 minutes, on top of the water:D, and I'm ready for a nap:champagne:

Might take you up on that. I rented this one and will probably do it again until I'm real comfortable on it. I figure kinda work my way into something a little more perfomance, yet still for old fat guys, then drop the money on actually buying one.

Lol, Your guess is as good as mine.:D
