<p>Skinny, fat, black, white, big headed, ugly, cute, stupid, blind, deaf, crazy, addict, frugal, rich, blue, pink, albino, F-student, metal worker, horse manure picker upper, head in the sand, I hope I didn&#8217;t leave you out!  What I want you to know is that YOU can get behind a boat and wakeboard and wakesurf.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="445" height="364" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VZ2HcRl4wSk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="445" height="364" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VZ2HcRl4wSk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>One of the best reasons I hear from people who don&#8217;t want to give these sports a try is &#8220;I can&#8217;t do that, I&#8217;m too old.&#8221;  Do you want to know what I think about statements like this?  It&#8217;s Crap!  Why don&#8217;t you just say that you don&#8217;t want to do it?  This is really what you are saying, anyway.  Don&#8217;t use an excuse, just say that you are not interested.  This will allow me to move on and talk about something in your life that you are interested in.  I won&#8217;t hate you, you can still be my friend, and I am sure that there is something we can talk about.  Do you like apples?</p>
<p>On the bright side, if you can get out of a chair, you can get up on a wakeboard or wakesurf board.  I know kids 5 years old that wakeboard, and I know people 60 years old that wakesurf.  So if you have the itch and think that you would like to give these sports a try, you should because you can.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have a boat to get out on, or you don&#8217;t know anyone who has a boat, there are still many ways that you can <a href="http://www.jonathantollefson.com/2010/wakeboarding-get-into-it/" target="_blank">Still Get Into It</a>.  I encourage everyone to get out on a boat if you even have the slightest feeling that you would like to give these sports a try.  There is only one way to tell if you will like them or not, and that is to give them a try!</p>
<p>Do you have any stories or good excuses that you have heard.  It is always fun to hear how people get out of stuff that they really don&#8217;t want to do.  Please Share!!</p>
