Wake Surfing

This past weekend I was in Bear Lake with friends and my ward.  It was a lot of fun and I got a great tan!  

Originally, I was planning to make chocolate raspberry homemade ice cream for the party as my new thing for the week.  I tried to make it, but unfortunately it was an utter failure!  Pretty sure I did it wrong because it never set up. I guess I could use the attempt as my new thing for the week, but I wanted to do something successfully.

So, when given the opportunity to wake surf, it took it.  This is on my list of new things I want to do and I just couldn't pass it up.  See documentation below. :)

As you can see, there are NO boots to stabilize me on the board.  It was pretty choppy so it took a lot to get myself up.  

The rope is only about 10 feet out from the boat.  Other than these two things, getting up is just like wake boarding... only it takes a lot more energy!

1...2...3... attempts.  Not up yet.

Almost there...

And I'm up!!!  

The water was super choppy, enough so that I couldn't stay up very well.  I was up for about 1 minute, which is not nearly long enough to be able to drop the rope and really surf the wake.  Next time I get a chance, I'm doing it again!
