He jumps out like a kernal of popcorn and later on today he managed to get OUTSIDE the wake and was cutting away from the boat. It was really cool. I am one proud pa pa and he is sound alseep.

Excellent!

Parks better watch out :uglyhamme When they start that young and stick with it, there is no limit on how good they can become. But no matter as long as they have fun with it. I love to see parents who take the time to teach there kids a sport that they can enjoy for a lifetime. My father taught me to ski when I was about 10 or so I guess and I can't thank him enough!! That is just cool> CONGRATS!!

they're my proudest moments....me and either one of my daughters (8+10) or both,out the back of the boat on our boards/skates..wife at the helm grandad observing..the smiles on our faces say more than anything.......

life is good :D

That looks like me on the wakeboard. And I'm 23.

Outstanding. I had my 6 1/2 year old on ski's on the boom yesterday. She's is definitely hooked. What Kind of wakeboard did you get that has small enough bindings?

[sizzler]

my daughters had the small hyperlite voyager to learn on with mini bindings......altho the 8 yr old(in august) has size 4 aldult feet and uses a ladies sm-med binding (hyperlite pixie,,,on a liquid force diva board)

boy .they're gonna be big girls

He's on an O'Neil 126 beginner board with S/XS bindings. This set up should last him a couple of years as he is about 50 inches and 61 pounds. :eek: At least that's what was recommended by the guys at Action Water where I got the boat.

To be honest I cannot take any credit for teaching him this sport. Motocross, baseball, football and hockey, yes, but wakeboarding we are learning together by watching the www.thebookdvd.com. At this point he has progressed faster than I, as I seem to face plant or loop out every time I try to cross the wake. I need to get some pics of that for your laughing pleasure. :) because THAT it is funny. :D

Just got back and had my 9 year old up on two and today crossing the wake at will! She has big feet, size 8, so barely can get in the kids skiis! She loves to see herself posted on her or other kids posted on here skiing and boarding!
