I was about to ask what those boards were called (knew it wasn't surf boards), and then it just hit me...I think "Aquaplanes", right? and they were not as easy as it looked.

We always called them surfboards. I first used an old plywood homemade one when I was about 10.. shortly thereafter we got our first pair of waterskiis. This was a wonderful way to grow up. (Lake Matawanakee, Littleton, MA)

As we grew older we hated going out when it was rough... rough you say... I did not know rough until coming to Winnipesaukee!!!!

Today and tomorrow we should have some serious rough... no waterskiing for me!
