I finally stood up on a wake-board...


Getting ready to go in. 

... for 5 seconds. But Maggie did manage to capture a nice picture. Excellent concentration given she probably only had a few seconds. So many things to remember! Keep still. Keep the tension of the rope. Don't move. Don't lean back. Don't lean forward. Don't stand up too fast. Keep tight. 

The sport of wakeboarding is fun to do - but extremely painful consequences. While I felt fine in the afternoon and evening after wakeboarding, the day after, I could not move. Every muscle in my body was sore. It turns out the whole concept of just keeping the body tight was physically tiring. All your muscles keeping tight is crazy. Even with all my clumsiness and the soreness, I loved it. Can't wait for the next time.   Photo: Go Alyssa!
Wakeboarding is very accessible in Singapore - you can rent a boat from any of the operators at Punggol Marina Club for SGD125/hour. The boat sits around 8 - 10 people. While we only had 1/2 hour each - it felt like a very long time. We definitely all sored like it was a really long time!
