Mastering Wakeboarding is as Tough

.

4th of April 2009 (Super Sunny & den poured for a while)

Wakeboarding @ Marina Country Club..
.
Initially, I did not want to go.. cos.. It s too ex.. 3 hrs.. $87 each..
Not tt kinda of automated machine @ ECP..
But with real speed boat.. @ Punggol end..
.
Eventually.. I still went with my Deng.. =)
I m glad tt I m there.. though my whole body is aching NOW.. -.-
Cos there are too much to learn.. too many potentials to realise..
.
1. Remain squatting first.. Dont stand up right away.
Unless you are Pro.. or know how to balance your way up..
.
Same applies to Life..
You cant just Stand b4 you learn how to Crawl.. Unless you are a Genius..
You wont succeed if you have the 一步登天's mindset.. Unless you are willing to bear all the consequences..
.
2. Firm Grip on the handle.. But do not pull it to remain standing.
The harder the pull.. the faster you fall..
.
Same applies to Life..
If you have something or someone right now.. dun cling on it.. It s not going to work.. Balance your concern and attention.. He/She will then remain with you..
.
3. Look ahead and enjoy the view around while you glide.
The moment you start to look down.. tt s the time you fall str on your face...
.
Same applies to Life..
Stay positive and try not to be demoralise by the environment.. But it s damn tough when the route is rocky and you re feeling unstable.. Try to relax.. rest your mind.. You will know wart s the right thing to do when the time comes..
.
4. Let go of the handle when you fall.. If you dont, you bleed.
.
Same applies to Life..
When it s time to let go.. learn to do it. You wouldnt want to be deeply hurt..
.
5. If you fall.. Get up and try AGAIN.
If you are waiting for someone to save you.. then keep waiting. Others can choose to help or not..
.
Same applies to Life..
Similarly, upon facing Mistake or Failure, you can choose to Give up or Try again..
.
6. With enough practice and proper guidance.. You would be able to stand & glide on the water surface.
But if you wish to perform stuns like 360 degrees jump.. You would need to put in tonnes more effort and time.
.
Same applies to Life..
Fruitful harvest or nothing gained. Up to you to decide..
.
Maybe I m too imaginative.. It's just Wake boarding.. But at least everything sound relevant and logical right? =)
