Re: Wakeboarding

Another great day at Estavayer-le-Lac! (http://www.alphasurf.ch/)

This time I was joined by Pouria who had already done quite a bit of wake and kite boarding. After a leisurely train journey across Switzerland and a stroll through the picturesque village of Estavayer-le-Lac we arrrived at the lake side ready to book our 2 hour pass. Rather refreshingly (when you live in the über pünktlich Zürich) They'd decided to open late, so we sat and soaked up some sun until they were ready to start.

The water was a lot flatter than last week, which is great for relative novices like myself. Both Pouria and I made loads of circuits, I overcame my fear of the final turn and was able to complete 3-4 laps back to back. Pouria was perfecting his tricks and so inevitably spent some time swimming. Big respect to Pouria for having a go at starting by jumping from the high platform, even more respect for pulling it off.

Anyhow after such a fantastic day we cant wait till next weekend. already in the calendar for Sunday is a trip to Pfullendorf. (http://www.wasserskipark-pfullendorf.de), but if there is enough interest we may check out the club on Zürisee (http://www.snowboardgarage.ch/) on Saturday.

Now I'm really hooked and will be going every weekend, PM me if you'd like to join.
