Wakeboarding for a Change

    It's been a while since we went outside for a sport or relaxing time because of being too preoccupied with school and work. It was a wonderful time for us to try for the very first time to wakeboard. In the beginning, we were kind of anxious that we might not be able to do well but we did not let fear stop us from trying something new.

    When it was my turn to experience flowing through the water, I doubled checked with the instructor of what to do and what position I should turn myself in. I realized that I have been too focused with instructions that I was not able to do it right. In short, the board fell off my feet and I was literally just being dragged by the rope. So, I thought that I would look like an idiot being dragged without the board. So I decided to let go and I sunked down. They all laughed at me and the instructor was still encouraging me that I can do better for the second time around and with lots of practice.
