Wakeboard Slalom
Why has everyone given up on water-skiing and gone into wake boarding?
Ok I get that wakeboarding is the latest craze, but at the last boat show I hardly saw any competition ski boats, just extremely expensive wakeboard boats. I mean these boats were priced upwards of $80k I understand a dealership would be happy to profit 35 to 40 thousand dollars on a wakeboard boat, but is there not even people out there who also have a passion for skiing anymore? I would think that people would simply stick to the old school slalom because its so much cheaper. Besides when you get good enough skiing the sport is adictive as anything.
I wonder … Is my sport dying?
Water skiing is dying somewhat. I waterski and wake board and i think that wakeboarding is easier. it is easier to get up wakeboarding than waterskiing. The prices of wakeboard boats are ridiculous, but the prices of ski boats are climbing too. waterskiing is also dying because you need almost perfect water to get good and wakeboarding you use the roller to your advantage.
(My dad and my brother both ski compettively, so they are trying to help keep the sport alive)
