ty
god, canada.. wuld love to get there one day!

I went in 2007 with school. Loved it, been wantin to go back ever since. Bought a boat and wakeboard for summer and love it. Was planning a nz trip with mates this year but they pulled out. So looks like i'll be staying local to do it. I too wanna start my own collection of gear. Where should i look at?
daim man ive been itchin to try wakeboarding for years! one of my best mates even has one but havent found the time!

in regards to building a collection- where do u live? theres a great store at Rockdale if your nearish.. i love wondering through there round snow season
ive got a Burton Un-Inc goes great mountain or park... id suggest (brand wise) Burton > LibTech > DC > nitro > etc... if u go a park board, be careful cos some will be shithouse and 'chatter' wen ur going fast = terrible.. ...

Got gloves with built in wrist guards?
They should help!
Also, strapping should help.
I'm going to strap the sh1t out of my knee...
AND dont forget those lifesavers

helmet!!! ...how many of u ride with a helmet??
EDIT: i wuld probably be dead without my helmet.. always have worn one (besides wen mucking around on a small jump out back of the lodge..). no im not kidding, ive been concussed a cuple times, hit my head on tree branches, rocks, tumbles etc... really think id have at the Very Least brain damage.. where em i say. they arent 'uncool'.. besides, fairly sure being able to speak ok is 'cooler' than dribbling.. (lol)
