So
this evening it was time for my second session, I was really looking forward to
giving it another go. I was hoping to at least make it through the first two
slopes as at my last session I was told the more I try the easier it will get.
Hoping for less falling off (lol)
Mel
VS Wakeboarding - take 2
I
made some progress this week with putting my wet suit on. J It was the right way in, got it on in one go
and it didn’t take me as long. Still hard works though (lol) if anybody has any
tips for getting these on easily please leave them in the comments box.
Tonight’s session was a bit more busier than
last week which I found a little uncomfortable at first and I hung back a bit
letting the other two girls in our group go first followed by a few more people
who was not in our group. After some e3ncouragment from Carla I took my first go
for this week. Well this had to have been the worst fall of them all so far as
my board didn’t come with me so I ended up being pulled face first off the
dock. This was not a very pleasant start and it left me not particularly
wanting to try again but Carla checked I was ok, chatted to me while dipping my
board in to the lake as she thought the fact that my board was dry is why it
didn’t come with me. Carla took my board down and encouraged me to give it
another go. This time myself and my board made it off the dock making it a
little further onto the lake before falling off this time than ever before!
Very small progress was made but still progress which made me feel a little
more encouraged to keep trying. My next few turns resulted in falling with no
more progress. I think that I am the most amazing falling off wakeboarder in
our sessions (lol) it is very tiring all that falling off to which surprised
me.
How
I’m feeling about wakeboarding now
After my two sessions I am starting to feel
slightly frustrated with myself as my arms will not do what I want them to do so that I can actually it out
onto the lake. I will keep trying as even though I’m struggling I am enjoying
it a lot. The support and encouragement every week keeps me determined to
conquer this and if I don’t manage to do so by the end of the course I will go
back in my own time to carry on.
