i have to get three college credits this summer for school and if any university or college is giving credits for wakeboarding, at least it would be fun. kiteboarding or surfing would also be acceptable classes as long as i get college credit. i know some schools have golf, tennis, and wrestling classes for credit(usually through the sports science department), don't make me take ballroom dancing

Do you want it close to you? I know Fla Southern offers a waterskiing class, and San Diego State had one a while back, but you'd have to move to both of those areas

csus?
i was thinking more of a one week summer class, usually colleges have 3 summer terms, where the class takes just a couple weeks
i not really into waterskiing
kiteboerding, surfing, ..anything on the east coast or texas, i think san diego has everything, but thats too far away

Texas A&M or UT or one of those big TX schools (whichever is close to TSR) had a class kinda like that. I have no idea if it was a summer class or not.

A) it is a little late to be searching for this summer.

B) The per-unit cost for summer session at a university is usually outrageous!

C) Going out of state can be very expensive!

D) Most of these "P.E." clases are only 1 or 2 units, not three.

But like Alex said, California State University, Sacramento does offer it.

Good Luck.

What class does csus offer for wakeboarding because I only see a water skiing class which im not sure is the same thing

By the way, have you taken the class or heard any feedback about it?

I have taken the class. Brice Bennett is the instructor and he is awesome. Very helpful. You could also join the wake club. The class is called waterskiing but no one skiis everyone wakeboards. Its a plus to join the wake club because you can choose to skip class and just ride with the club. At least that's what I did.

Oh wakeclub is only during the fall or spring semesters..not during the summer.

UT does not offer this as a credit. There is a ski team at UT that you can try out for. It is a club.

Neither does Texas A&M, althought we do have a great wakeboard club/team.
