Cable skiing @ Batam.
My back and forearms are aching. I only managed a few rounds on the knee board, cos I can’t balance on the wake board yet. It really takes a lot of upper body strength. Got some bruises and cuts but it’s all worth it! I’d definitely go back again.
The difference between wakeboarding from a cable and a boat is that the boat will start slow and speed up when you have found your balance. The cable does not slow down.
On the very first time, the force was so huge that I had to yell when it yanked me away. Then I faceplanted. With my mouth open. The water didn’t taste good at all.
