Adam vs. The Lake

There was a new toy at Poppa's house this weekend - a wakeboard. Adam has been itching to wakeboard for a good while - and this weekend he got his chance. He watched a quick video on how to get out of the water, how to hold the rope, and then more importantly, how to do lots of cool tricks. Adam was quick to get up on the water (a task that would take me MANY attempts) and quickly moved on to the fun tricks. Here is a shot of Adam attempting a jump over the wake. He actually landed this one and was able to continue wakeboarding.

But, you can see here, on other attempts he was not as successful. Upon returning from one excursion, Poppa reported that Adam took a face plant so hard that he could hear it on the boat. Knowing that it would be a few minutes before Adam was ready to try again, when Poppa drove the boat back around to where Adam was waiting in the water, he turned off the boat, grabbed a life jacket, and jumped in to cool off a few minutes.

Once Adam had his fill of fun and falls, Poppa enjoyed some kneeboarding. Poppa's ease of getting out of the water, turning 360s, and staying on the board put Adam's efforts to shame.
