The first three times I went out, I just watched and took pictures. I had never really been on a boat before in my life and there was no other girl wakeboarding, so I felt unsure about the whole thing. Then the season was over. I spent the whole winter regretting that I had never tried. As soon as it was warm enough, I jumped in and tried for 45 minutes to get up. I shivered for a full hour after getting back in the boat, but was hooked from then on. Having another girl on the boat that rode would have made all the difference. It would have really helped my comfort zone. Hopefully having you there and encouraging them will make them feel comfortable enough to try. If not, double dog dare them!!!
