Just wondering what everyone is into for recreation or sporting activities.

i have monday night basketball.

i recently registered to this forum www.duplays.com, check it out you might yet find the sport you want and meet new friends.

Before it got hotter than the surface of the sun, I was playing football, tennis and golf.

I've been meaning to visit the indoor climbing wall at WAFI. Anybody been?

No I haven't, but I have friends that go every week, it's good apparently, so will check it out soon.

I'm at the beach wakeboarding every weekend and am getting into snowboarding.

Two questions about Wakeboarding:

1) Is it hard to stay on your board?

2) Aren't you always a little worried that you'll see a shark fin pop up behind you halfway through a run (a la Jaws)?

Hahaha no, no sharks around here.

erm well it's all about balance obviously. Most people only take a few attempts to get up, if you can snowboard, skateboard or surf then the concepts are the same.

Everyone's posture is terrible to start until you find your balance and get used to riding sideways and are able to stand straight properly, plus you can move your bindings around the board at different angles so you're comfortable. Bear in mind that you are strapped into the wakeboard so when you fall the board goes with you, catching an edge and face planting can be very very painful - I'm a master at it! But like anything you get back up and keep trying till you get it right.

Have a look at the clips on this site:

Very good explanations.

body building, swimming on weekends .

Mad about football... but can't really play it much now thanks to the heat!

Where can someone hire a boat for wakeboarding? Thanks.
