I gave wakeboarding a try this year for the first time. I am a die hard skier myself. Getting up was a bit of a challenge, but once you figure that part out the rest is pretty easy, although the sensation of being on a board is a bit different. I really can't understand why the boards are so popular now guess it's just the "thing to do" these days, but I'll take a single ski any day over a board.

I will admit that the board is a bit better behaved on rough water, but I attribute that to the slow speed more than the physical difference between the board and a ski.

Suppose it all comes down to what you personally find most enjoyable.
