I tried wakeboarding when I was ten years old, and I could not get up on that board for the life of me. It felt like I was having a tug-of-war with a speed boat! I just didn't have the strength to pull myself up. I was at my friend's cottage, and usually I would just sit on the boat and spot the others while they took their turns. I finally got the courage to try again on the weekend and I did it! It was so much fun that I just had to share. Wind blowing in my hair, water splashing up, competing with the force of the boat, and feeling super cool of course. The next day I could hardly move! It felt like I had been to the gym for hours the day before. Skip the gym and hit the lake instead? Yes please!
