I didn’t ride much over the winter due to the freezing cold and the the lakes being frozen over.  I think since January I rode maybe four times, and I was not loving it!  I hurt for about a week after everytime I got on the water.. not good. 

The chance came up to head away for a two week surf trip and I jumped at it.  I had my new surfboard freshly waxed up and I was ready to go.  I noticed after my first day out that not doing any form of physical excercise over the winter was a mistake.. 

Two weeks away surfing works amazingly and I have come back to wakeboarding feeling fit and ready for the season ahead!
