Hi to everyone!
I'd like to share with you my second experience at Wake Park😁

It was a bit cloudy in the morning so as soon as I got into the park I decided to get my morning coffee to wake up finally☕

To be honest after first ride on the wakeboard my body was so sore. Later that day I had a night out with girlfriends and I could barely get my make up done because my hands were shaking after 2 hours of wakeboarding😁 Now I can definitely say I wouldn't recommend to spend on the wakeboard more than 1 hour for the first time if you don't want to to repeat my mistake😁

So this morning having my coffee and watching at other riders I still wasn’t sure if I’m ready for the second time. I literally didn’t want to spend few more days with a pain in my muscles. Anyway the more you look at people on the boards having fun the more you want to try again😜
Here is my first full circle at Wake park!

By the way it’s really important to choose a wake boards which fits you perfect. You should feel that it’s absolutely comfortable for you. I did a mistake this time when I chose a board which matches with my life jacket colour (so girlish I know😜) but doesn’t really fits me (it was smaller than it should be)😂 So first two rides were unsuccessful and I fell down into the water in 5-10 meters after start.

As soon as I got the right size of the board I started to ride almost without any fails. I could ride the whole circle at my second time at the park! That’s a really great result and even my coach asked me did I ride before or not, at least on a snowboard😜 But I didn’t! All my life I thought I’m absolutely useless in any kind of sport (I go to the gym but anyway it’s not a any particular sport I’d say).
Once I was thrown out of the shoes on the turn, hitting the wave so I flew to one side and the wakeboard flew to the other side but anyway I'm still alive and writing this post😂

Here is happy me having rest and getting sunbath after wakeboarding

I'm really excited because I see that I'm learning pretty fast and my next goal is to start the ride with a jump like on the first video above.
