Earlier I wrote about ways to get into wakeboarding. Well today I have found another way for you to start your journey into the wakeboard world.  Heck this could be the way wakeboarding started; I doubt it, but who can really say?  Check out this picture!

Another way to Wakeboard

What do you think?  Is it wakeboarding?  Does it really matter?  I don’t think so.  I have to admit that getting pulled around the lake on a piece of plywood is one of the most memorable rides I have ever had.  You should try it!  For those of you who love to wakesurf, check out the wake behind this guy.  If they had another rope and you had a board, I could see you right behind him trying to ride that mushy wave.  This could be as redneck as it gets, but I have give it up to these people.  They have just given us all another way to board the Midwest all day, everyday.

A new wakesurfing community has erupted!  Ragboy and the folks over at wake9.com have started a community where wakesurfers around the world can come together and post events, blog, share ideas, or figure out the next best wakesurfing idea.  Wake9.com started in 2009 and has had a huge impact in the wakesurfing community.  Through hosting events, participating in other wakesurf communities, and posting great information, Wake9.com will continue to impact the wakesurfing industry.  Click the snapshot of Wake9′s new website (shown below), and you will be able to join the community and explore some of the most up to date information in the wakesurfing world.

It is great to see people like this who are pushing the sport of wakesurfing, and I can’t wait to see what they have up their sleeve for the 2010 season!  Go to the wake9 community, sign up, add me as a friend, and enjoy the ride.  I have a feeling this one is not going to end unless you fall off the wave.  Keep it fresh, keep it clean, and come with us as we watch this sport grow into the masses.
