which do your prefer?

personally, i like wakeboarding more. at the beginning of the year, i thought that i would like skiing better, just cuz i love ssnow skiing. but then i tried wakeboarding and it was so much better, cuz u can cut like you can one skis, plus you can do tricks and stuff. yesterday was my 1st time getting up on 1 ski, and i was fun cutting, but i still enjoy cutting on a board more.

Waterskiing. Hence why I make my own. If you make trick boards its so much better than wakeboarding

Waterskiing is pretty much the worst sport ever.

Personally I like waterskiing way more. Wakeskating and wakesurfing are pretty awesome too, I do those alot, but you'll rarely catch me on a wakeboard.

tubing is scary.

Generally I will ski in the morning when it is pretty much glass, in my buddies Malibu Tournament boat, and then go wakeboarding/wakeskating/wakesurfing on my other buddies Tige tournament boat in the afternoon or evening.

Yes I am a mooch, because I do not have my own boat.

wakesurfing's so much fun. Wakeboarding is better than skiing none-the-less, no competition.

for the last few year i was mostly wakeboarding cause my buddys all had board and no good slalom skis, but this year my buddy had a new slalom ski which was amazing did i did about the same ammount of wake/skiing and it was great, i never realised how fun waterskiing was untill i was cutting as hard as i could at 33mph, it was such a blast, continuous adrenaline the whole time!
