Spectator Sport: Wakeboarding on the Lake

In the hot, summer sun, the water splashed on my face. It was very cold. I was carried by the wind running through my hair and between my toes. It was like as I'm walking on water. I finally had the nerves to get in the lake. The thought of crocodiles, piranhas, and snapping turtles terrified me, as if they were right next to me. But still, there was something in my mind that was needed to be done. I had to get up on a wake board this summer. I kept thinking that I might not succeed in getting up, because the last time I did was two years ago. Pacifically, I did a thumbs up, saying I was ready, then the boat jerked me forward. I stood up, skating on water. The best feeling I had that summer, doing what made you feel unstoppable. I tried to see if I still had the skills in me. I leaned back, a bit to the left, and there I was. Feeling docile, steering myself on a wake board again, while everything around me was flamboyant.
 

Something to do while wake boarding

The exact lake I always wake board at

Nothing to worry about, feeling intrepid, because the straps on the barrings of the wake board were extremely tight. After a while of steering and trying to get the feel of being on a wake board again, one of the straps came loose. Unseemly, that's one of the worst feelings ever while wake boarding. It's almost as if you're running a ten kilometer marathon while sprinting with your shoes untied very loosely. I did a cute throat sign to the driver to tell him to slow down. At the second he did, I fell down face first, plunging down into the lake water. It came out of nowhere. At first, I had to figure out what had happened, then I knew that I was underwater. So I came back up to the surface, with the help of my life jacket. So then I started to tie my barrings on the board again. I was ready. I did a thumbs up, then the boat jerked me out of the water. The fast moving wind blew so hard I felt extremely cold. Still, I love the feeling of getting up on a wake board. Every time I do, I improve my balance, steering, and skills in wake boarding.
