Jetskiing!

Posted on Monday, August 14, 2006 in Family/Friends

We went jetskiing yesterday with Charlie, Jonathan and Tarrah. It was so much fun. We tailgated for the first 2 hours or so because the big 3 seater jetski had battery/spark plug issues. But after that we went out and Jonathan started wake skating in the very choppy water and somehow managed to stay up for longer than I could imagine staying up for. Charlie got up first try on the wake skate too. Typical Charlie. Then we took Tarrah out tubing and she did a triple barrel roll dismount, it looked intentional! Then I went out tubing and during my 180 degree turn around the jetski i couldn’t hold on any longer and decided to let go and I myself did a spin of sorts while falling off.. must be the centrifical force. My head and neck still are sore today from that one.

I taught Tarrah how to ride the jetski and she did fine. It’s really easy as long as you don’t have to dock the thing ugh. Then Josh and I went to try the wake skate. Josh couldn’t get up at all, though he gets up on the wakeboard and skis no problem. I tried and I got up the first time then didn’t know how to balance my weight and wobbled down. After 4 or 5 tries I realized I wasn’t putting weight on my front foot on the board.. Once I did that i stayed up crouched down skiing for something like 10 seconds and then lost balance and my ankle slapped the water really hard so I took a break.

I wanna go again next weekend!
