Wakeboarding Weekend

Fun

I’m pleased to say my return to wakeboarding after a two year hiatus was a success. Although it has left me more sore than a 50 mile bike ride {oooch}.

Our lake may not be the most picturesque lake in the world, but it’s still one of my most favorite places to spend a summer day.

After we exhausted ourselves with some wakeboarding runs, we moved on to the infamous tree-hung rope swing.

Apparently we weren’t the only ones with the same idea- it was bit crowded.

There might have been a little bit of showing off.

And now it’s time to go recover… For the record, I fully consider wakeboarding a valid form of exercise.

 

Don’t forget: today’s the last day to enter to win a case of ZICO Coconut Water!!

    Watersports are such an underrated workout - I love tubing for all the amazing things it does for my arms and abs - I bet wakeboarding is a killer one too!Reply

    I love cabin time too! My family doesn't have one, but my uncle does and every summer the entire family goes up and spends a whole week there... can't wait for that week this year!Reply

    Its been a few years since I've wakeboarded also. I plan to next week when I'm up north where the boat and my board is. I was sooo good at it back in high school.Reply

      Wakeboarding is absolutely a legitimate form of exercise. When I was boarding every day one summer is the only time I've been able to have abs with 6-pack definition....ah the days.Reply

    Cool! I'm sure wakeboarding does take a lot of core strength. Good workout.Reply
