Wakeboarding.

First update of this week. Its been a long week i guess.

Really really busy with this project our whole class is doing, of which i will not publish here yet as its still not ready to be published.

I guess it should be done by next Monday anyway.

So what have i been doing since my scuba and Wakeboarding FO camp?. Tons. And i have not even managed to do a post on that camp yet. Well, thats for later anyway.

Went for the first wakeboarding training on tuesday, at first felt like ponning as they said we were going to run around the whole school, which was about 3km. Total sianness. But went in the end anyway.

The run wasnt as bad as i thought, but was really slow towards the end. Didnt feel shagged as i would have thought after the run anyway. Went to the gym and did some stuff with the rest of the group, which only counted 6 i think.

While the rest bathed, me and ryan went to buy some overpriced burger from Bang Delhi, then sat down to watch the taekwondo ppl practice. Ryan said they were really lousy.

That was tue. Between that and Friday, i did lots of planning and stuff. And on Friday, i finally had my first wakeboarding experience!

Wilson did not come as planned as he had some important lessons, so met with Ryan, this other guy called Ken and Shi Fu, then trained downed to Pasir Ris to meet with Donavan (our wakeboard president), and he took us to meet the coach somewhere along changi beach.

The coach (which was also the boat driver) brought us to somewhere north of singapore (arnd pulau tekong according to don) as the waters there were less choppy. so here i let the pictures tell the story again..



first we were taught how to get up and out of the water when the boat starts. then after that, what direction should our board point when we are on the water.


splash. actually most of the photos here involves people falling. hahah


but we eventually get the hang of it.


yeah, the waves have a tendency of sneaking up on you.


a job well done.


its really funny, as the currents in the water would move you away from the boat, and you are some what helpless to swim back as your legs are tied.


another splash.


going to splash.


each person rode for quite long actually. it was also somewhat tiring.


shit cant rmb her name. haahha


another splash.


i go up in smoke.


i hate splashing face first. Its really hard to flip the board back to the correct position again. but otherwise falling is actually quite fun. hahahah


The rain arrives and we had to stop play for a while.


but the rain didnt stop us from cam whoring.




poor ryan had to wait out the rain. luckily it passed fast and we could resume wakeboarding.


hehe, yup i stil had time to do "arty" shots.


ryan does the getting up training thingi.


yeah, we changed location due to the rain..


splash.


and again..


"graeme vision". Seen thru two half naked dudes.


lol.


Superman!




the zai boy takes to the sea. (thats donavan.)


we changed location again.


don gets some air.


before landing off balance.


guess what there doing in there...


got another chance to run and finally get the hang of it.


its actually quite tiring as you are doing a half squat the whole time.


and for some reason i was too tired to get on the boat. hahah


there were clouds around the mountains. or hills.


the sea was much calmer now.


the water broke in a cool way.


everyone was somewhat tired already.


the sun was setting.


and we were still cam whorin'




graeme likes.


yeah, they were like super camwhorers. and they spoke chinese. tsk.
