Wakeboarding

I went wakeboarding for the first time as part of a government-sponsored outing. That is, for government workers they can get in for free. Don't ask me how I got in, I'm not part of the government and I'm not clear either :O

Wakeboarding is very similar to snowboard in the sense of getting up and in movement. The main difference is that in wakeboarding you get pulled up and around by the boat. To do anything on your own force would be to ask for a serious planting.

Our group learned from GuangYou, who's Taiwan's country representative for wakeboarding (!). I got to watch him perform aerials from the boat. Awesome? ohhh yess...

Finally, besides getting whipped by a boat going 40mph, I got some random pictures of the boys rowing team messing around.
