[Warpa]

I keep telling her our 40 year old carcasses cant handle it! You just drive the thing she says, ill learn to do it, you are too old i say, we are not talking about my age she says, ill buy a board you pull me, end of story

Then she shows me this...i want one of those, ok babe i say you can have one, something to collect dust me thinks, surely its not that easy.

Oh dear, if you have an attitude like that at 40, you'll never live to claim your pension, you've already got one foot in the coffin.

Go on have a bit of fun, do something new every month.

That looks like serious fun.

 

[U4]

Wow, I want one!!!!!!

 

[Warpa]

I must admit that it looks serious fun, its like a hover chair

Will mean another £500 on a wakeboard thingy on the boat, money pit? who said money pit.....

Looking at the angle of the tow rope in those videos you'll need a helicopter to tow it with as well. Glue a pair of slippers onto a tea-tray and tell her when she can stay up on that for 2 minutes you'll get her a wake-board.

Will be pulled with a boat using one of these i guess, you can even buy electric dams to create more wash

Don't want to put a damper on things, but these are very, very difficult to ride, especially if you don't have any watersports experience.

Stick with a basic Wakeboard or Kneeboard to start with and work up from there.

Or better still a ringo. Fraction of the cost, 90% of the fun and 0% of the skill required.

We have zero experience of water sports, we have the ringo and the wakeboard sounds the better option to me (compared to ski) the kneeling wakeboard sounds perfect...have not come across those on my travels

Think laterally, she can't nag with a mouth full of scooped up water.
