#31 - Learn to Wakeboard

Over the 4th of July weekend I was able to cross #31 off my list and actually really enjoyed it (despite the fact that I look angry in every photo!).  The "fear based anger" (aimed directly at Scott - sorry babe!) and knots in my stomach were screaming to not grab the rope.  My experience with snowboarding was not pleasant and I was convinced this was going to be the same way.  Having my feet strapped to a board with limited mobility was at the top of my "no thanks" list.  However, my competitive spirit (and a little liquid courage) couldn't let me pass up the opportunity!

Everyone kept saying "just pretend you are trying to stop the boat" and all I was saying screaming {in my head} was "do you see how small these arms are?!?".  I will say, the water is much more forgiving then snow.

Mychael quickly saw that my fear based anger wasn't going to allow Scott to help me figure out this thing they call "wakeboarding", as you can see below he stepped in with some helpful instruction - probably best for all parties involved (mostly Scott).
