# 9 - Try wakeboarding


I think this photo sums up my experience…

Firstly I must apologise for not posting since I actually turned 30 at the end of March! Yep I failed. I still have one completed challenge which I did whilst I was pregnant and never upload which will follow soon plus a few I have not yet had the chance to do!
I decided to save this challenge until close to my birthday, so I booked and paid for it (Thanks Amanda for finding me a cheap voucher) and then went and slammed the car door on my leg so that I could not go!
 
Fast forward five months and I finally went wakeboarding! I was a little hesitant as I had previously tried water-skiing, 12 years ago in Finland, and my brother kindly reminded me a few days before my wakeboarding attempt that I was useless! I didn’t even get up!
Thankfully things went a lot more smoothly this time. I was part of a group lesson at Liquid Leisure in Datchet. I was learning on the cable and despite struggling on my first go, things improved quickly. I have no style…do not end any runs gracefully but I did stand – LOTS.
 
A fun challenge – thanks Chloe!
