At one point I had a few different paragraphs talking about Wakeboarding on Glass.  I talked about what glass is, why you should ride it and a few other things.  But then then I decided that nothing I say could put it into perspective more than a couple of pictures.  So here you go.  If you have never had the chance to wakeboard on glassy water, I highly suggest that you do.

Wakeboard on Glass

Do you have a good story about wakeboarding on glassy water?  If so email me your best pic and I will post it up for the world to see!  Do you have any good stories about shredding glass?  Let me hear them!

The wind is blowing at 20 knots, X-Stars are pulling three tubes in circles, and your skin about to fall off from being in the sun for hours.  Time to get off the water right?  Nope, it is time to break out the surfers and get some wakesurfing done.

Many people think wakesurfing is a sport you do after you get done wakeboarding, if the water is choppy, and the last thing you do before you go home.  Well I am here to say that wakesurfing deserves more time and credit than that.  It is way better to surf when the water is glass and all day long.  Surfing is more fun the more time you spend doing it, and I say forget saving all of the glassy water for wakeboarding.  Switch up the game.  It will help you in every other activity that you do.  With a different sense of balance and a different board to stand on, you can’t go wrong.  Wakesurfing will give your legs a break from wakeboarding and teach them another level of muscle memory that you will not get from other board sports.

Trying something new is also stress reliever and a way to get your mind off that trick that you have been trying to land for days.  On one last note, wakesurfing is easier on your body which will allow you to be on a board and out on the water longer into your life.  Can we say it is a life saver??  Sure!  Get out, give wakesurfing a chance, save your body, and try something different.  Wakesurf for a day!
