I just tried.

I just tried to water ski for the very first time. I got up for three seconds. Then I fell.

Attempt 1: Fell on face

Attempt 2: Fell on butt

Attempt 3: Fell on butt

So final score: Face 1, Butt 2. Annie, 0.

I am tired.

So Attempt 4 will be NAP.

    use all of your strength to get up, because once you’re up, you just need to hold on. at least that’s what they tell me…

    America is still searching for the funniest home video….footage of failed water skiing attemps with the right dubbed sound effects would be a contender. ‘Ker-Boinnng’

    @laface Dude I know. I was on double skis but it was still a world of hurt and failure. My shoulder feel like piece of concrete.

    @lanna Yeah I never got to the “once you’re up” part but I’ll take your word for it ha ha ha

    @jon Well the guy who gets hit in the crotch always wins.

  6. That’s not bad, actually. Once upon a time I stood up for ten seconds on the skis, then crouched again and fell. The guy I was with, however, was very macho and he stood until he wiped out so bad, some of his hair got tangled in the watch he should not have worn and got yanked out. Never found the watch. His face stopped stinging after a few hours…

  7. You did better than I did my one and only time trying to water ski, when I was like 12. Water up my nose, felt like a total loser jerk.
