Forget surfing...

I remember the first time I actual saw anybody wakeboarding for real.

I was visiting Cornwall in South West England for a holiday with some friends. We were at a beautiful place called Newquay, where you get some of the best surf in the UK (not that hard I know!). There was some surf championship going on but there were wakeboarders in the water too.

I was amazed at how far in the air they could jump and the astounding tricks that they could do. Very, very cool, indeed!

Now I have never tried it but hopefully one day will. For those of you who have tried it and are looking for gear you can get some great deals online and BuyWake.com is one such place.

They have many lines in their huge range including Liquid Force Wakeboards and much more.

For example you can buy the Liquid Force 2008 Response 134 Slingshot Wakeboard for $3.99, an amazing $130 off the recommend price! The design is great and like any decent outlet purchase is a cinch. Plus they have a phone number if you need to discuss your needs in more detail and the website is very detailed.

I love the look and simplicity of their site and would definitely look at them in more detail if I was in the market for a cool looking wakeboard. Maybe I can get one just to hang on my wall and look trendy!
