Never stop experiencing
Hi guys sorry this will be my last post because the semester is almost finished. I would like to save the best for last, so I just want to talk about the most important thing about this sport. The best areas to go are calm lakes where there are not too many waves being created by other boaters, it is a lot more fun when you have the best of all conditions because you enjoy it much more and your time with friends become more valuable and that’s what you remember is having a good time enjoying plane old fashion fun with a good group of friends. Just remember the basic things that will make you want to keep going and going, safety proper equipment and of course laughter and fun. This is a great sport I have been doing this for a good while now and all I want to do is this with my friends because the most precious moments of my life is this. I recommend this sport to everyone who enjoys the outdoors and wants to get out there and try something new. Try not to get hurt enjoy yourself have fun with your friends and it will go a long way, especially when you look back on things this is a good memory. I know some of my friends look back and smile on the good times we have. Not to mention it is a good way to be creative and adventurous, trying something new always leads to something good. Well thanks again for reading I hope you all enjoyed my posts. O’Brien out thanks for reading.

How to prevent injuries
Things you should consider before getting in the water, first off of course as I mentioned before in my recent blogs always check and make sure all your gear is properly equipped and secure, what I mean as in secure is double check and see if there are any sign of wear on the binding on your ski boot or if there are any tears or rips in your life jacket. And most importantly very important to look and see if there any damages on the rope such as knots signs of fray on the rope or sliced twirls’ on the rope as well. All of these tips can save you from breaking bones on causing other types of injuries. The reason why I think this is very important to do before you start water skiing is because a few years back I went up north to a cottage where water skiing is very good and we did a lot of it, well one of my friends broke a leg because the binding on the boot had started to tear majorly and got worse when she started going and all that pressure was being put on it causing it to rip severely which caused her to slip out of the boot and fall awkwardly and she ended up breaking a leg. Yes it was a freak accident but it happens always make sure your gear is secure to use thanks for reading this.

different types of bindings
Their are alot of different types of bindings that do the exact same thing if you ask me. I will first talk about the ones me and my friends use. We use the lowest end bindings a simple piece of rubber shaped into a boot. Then you have these fancy bindings made of plastic with fancy laces and snaps with all the useless adjustments. I find their to be an advantage with each one and a disadvantage, because in the original simple bindings which me and my friends use just slide up and snap into a position that fits your foot. As for the high end bindings have laces that lock your foot into the binding which is a disadvantage sometimes. Think about it this way if you wipe out at a speed of 50mph thats around 90km on the road in a vehicle, your foot won't release its locked in their. As for the rubber bindings when you wipeout rubber when its wet is slippery so when you fall your foot will slide out from the boot causing you to have a better chance not braking a foot or a leg.

colours on water skies
I figured colours would be something to discuss about. What are your favorit coulours on a water ski. My favorit colours ona water ski are black gray and yellow. The mixture of those three make a cool pattern designs and make it look sporty. Actually they have water skies that have those crzy illusion effects you would see on a movie or dvd case kind of like the things like whenever you tilitl the case to one side another picture appears, they have those in stock with certain types of skies. But if you ask me that could be a distraction on the water because every movement makes abother scene or picture I find it trippy. Another cool colour on a ski is a solid red with black and grey a snazy looking mixture. I guess it all depends what you like and what you want people to see when you ski.

how water skies are made
Water skies are all made the same way just painted with a different brand name. Skies are first designed and tested scientificly to see the way the skies perform before they throw out an advertisement. They are made of a mixture of synthetic fiber coated with a carbon fiber plate where the name is stamped or painted however the way they make them. The skies have different base designs for various purposes, iyt all depends what you want to do when you ski or how you want to start off. The regular base design is actually what professionals use because the courses and runs they do are proven better with a regular based ski. What I would like to see professionals use are old vintage wooden skies and see how they do. They have all this fancy stuff out on the market that make minor differences, I think seeing a pro use wooden skies would be considerd a true pro because all wooden skies are, are simply a bent piece off wood with a fin and a binding.

Watersport names
Their are many brand names out their on the market and they all advertise the same way. First you have Conely a famous name in watersports, I like their stuff because their reliable and their return policies are fair. As for some of the off brand waterport names rip you off sometimes by adding on to their return policy "no return after first use". I disagree with that because the whole purpose of returning something is because you either do not like it or you do not like the way the product performs. And I am pretty sure some of you who have baught things before had that happen to them at one point in your life. Then you have sea doo which is a very popular name and have the best policies out their. In their advertisements tyhey say if product does not work or perform the way you want your money back guaranteed, thats fair because the company is making sure you get what you want so next time you will give them the buisness again. Then finaly you have O'Brien to be honest they have the same policy as sea doo so thats your main watersport names and policies.

What kind of boat you should ski behind
Hey guys something I would like to go through is what type of boat you should use to properly do what experienced guys do. Well it makes a huge difference when you use the types of boats, because for professionals they have the best of the best which is a nice ski boat with all of the fancy ski bars and looks. They call those ski boats usually the name of ski boats used by pros are the latest model of Tahoe water sports, that is the best boat for this sport because it has smooth jet drive with a boating planer for maximum speed and acceleration for pulling skiers out of the water. See myself and my friends have been skiing for quit a while now and I will not lie we are pretty good for the stuff we deal with. Obviously we are not the richest people who can afford the best thing on the market but at least we got something we can do the sport with. All we have is a regular speed boat with an outboard motor and hooks that are close to the water, that is not what pros use but that is all we have. The boat we use is good for what we do it is reliable it never gives us problems it has all the power we need. If you ask me the stuff we are using will only make you a better water skiing because its a much bigger challenge, so when we do get the chance to use what pros use we will master it no problem because we deal with much harder set ups and do perfectly fine. The pros use things that make the sport easier for them, our way around uses much more compensating and technique, plus when we water ski we ski two guys at a time so that guy distracts you and sprays you with water so he is blinding you when your in the middle of doing something. It is a tonne of fun and the best part about it each time we ski the better we get.
