Wakeboarding

Yes, I went wakeboarding a few weekends ago in the crazy Utah weather. It's trying to warm up here but has had a hard time of it recently until today. Finally! Well the water was a whopping 53 degrees. Freezing! BUT, the good thing was that we had a dry suit. I didn't even know these things existed. They are genious! So you can wear normal clothes under it like a hoodie, etc. and not even get wet. It's not too cold either cause you're all bundled up underneath, except your head, hands and feet get wet. Not too bad though.

So I made some awesome progress on the wakeboarde! I've been a few times, but could never get in and out of the wake without eating it. This time I totally did!! I went out of the wake and back in successfully. It was sweet. I practicing edging it too, where you go way out and then back in. The next time will be even better. I just might practice catching some air :

Notice the snow on the mountains in the background - that tells you it's still pretty cold.

This isn't me, but it lets you see what a dry suit looks like, even if it is super far away :)

I didn't know you wear regular clothes under it. Cool! I mean...warm!
