I ride the delta too. As for wakeboarding being a guys sport...you are straight trippin' if you think that. The only reason that women aren't huge in this sport is because they don't ppush themselves as hard as the men do.

Oh yeah, I'm Melissa, also. Sometimes I ride the San Diego chop. I ride a Belmont 128, a loaner 135 Premier (deciding if I am ready to upgrade) and a Kampus wakeskate. When I visit the family, I ride the secret spot in Fresno with Rose and Barry.

Phantom, The knee is awesome, thanks for asking! If you were out with us this morning you'd understand the "stolen board" comment. Mel, you know how those women are.. what's theirs is theirs and what's yours is theirs.. I don't get it. You don't suck... you ride great! Quit being so hard on yourself. B-

My name is Angi, I now a "wakejunkey" hence the name...just started this year, husband has been doing it for about three years, always just watched due to phobia of water..almost drowned when I was little. Now you CANT keep me away from the wake! Just got a brand spankin' new, outta the plastic hyperlite 131, Essence. Split bindings. I thought I would classify myself as a beginner, but then I looked down the list of tricks for beginner/intermediate competitions and I already do all the tricks in the beginner category, and like 4 of the intermediate, so I guess Intermediate..but that sounds wierd since I have only been a total of four times. I did pick it up as soon as I got up, which was my first try. See, I shoulda been doing it for the last three years!!! shame on me! www.angisimpson.com angi (Message edited by wakejunkeygirl on June 15, 2003)

Wow Barry, first you "forgot" to put the fins on my board yesterday morning and now my board has been "stolen". I swear it seems like someone is afraid that I might make them look bad...hahaha. Im just kidding. Oh and I did realize that I put that I ride the Byerlys, its just that im not used to wearing the 30/60's yet. And Mel, I still catch myself saying that its my boat and not Barry's or that its "ours". But as you know, they call me every wonderful name in the book I should be able to act like its mine every once in a while...wink wink Barry.

Gotcha Barry Good to hear the knee is better. went out today and hit a kicker...didn't kick back either since I landed it 3x's! Of course I failed to mention the 5x's I didn't land. Oh I'm Phantom and I'm a closet wakeboarder. I'm starting a club called "Yes I'm a female wakeboarder and I suck...deal with it"

Thanks Barry Nope, no pics...There's no Lens in this world that's wide enough for this caboose! I think you and Bill should make a road trip out here. Don't forget to bring Susan too. Just make it an over 25 trip, if you know what I mean..... (Message edited by phantom5815 on June 15, 2003)

Aren't you in Fl now? Bill and I will get right on that! C'mon now, you need a profile pic, you've been avoiding the issue for at *least* a year now. The boys still talk about you. Susan is awesome! I wish my mom supported me like she does Justin. I don't think that kid realizes how good he has it.Such a cool lady. B-

Yes Rose....I am in Fl now. I don't photograph well at all.....as a matter of fact a wet rat looks better than I do. Boys will be boys....flash 'em some skin and you're in the gossip column for a while. Susan is awesome. how's her riding coming along? I need to talk to her someday soon. That's why I made the comment of an over 25 road trip. That boy could use a good beating once in awhile

Phantom, That post was from me. Rose left her username/password on my system and it posted as her even though I changed it to mine. Anyway, Susan/Justin came down a couple of months ago and I watched her ride a bit. She looked great! She has her hands full. Let's see if it still posts me as Rose. If it does, I'm gonna have a little fun. B-

Hey Gunther, Since your a dude, well white dude to be specific, you probably have never known what discrimination feals like. And in wakeboard women are barely represented and it is important for the evolution of this sport that we recognize the ladies. This thread wasn't made to make others feal bad, but to show that there are some girls who can rip it as well as any man. I would take on any guy any day. E

Nope, never lost a job I was interviewing for due to racial ratios being unfilled. BTW, it's "feel", not "feal".

My name is Amanda, Im from Austin, Texas... this is my 2nd summer wakeboarding, and I am finally improving. I have the 03 Hyperlite Divine board, and highback bindings. I have an 02 X10 and hopefully will be getting better by the end of the summer! I can wakeskate, but am trying to learn to do some things on it. Not very women wakeskate, so i might try and improve in that area.

Leggester ~ I have.....just because I was a chick. Many Orthopods won't hire a female because: -strength ( which is a crock) -poss. loss of duty due to maternity leave. Of course i can't prove it, you think that they're stupid enough to let see all the applicants.
