Water sports are a big interest of mine. Whether I am at the lake, beach, or out on a boat, being on the water is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. Water sports are both exciting and challenging. The process of learning a new trick or sport is what makes water sports feel rewarding to me. They also give me another reason to be outdoors, stay active, and spend time with friends.
One of my favorite water sports is wakeboarding. I like the challenge of trying to stay balanced, learning new tricks, and the feeling of gliding across the water. The best part about it for me is that I can do it behind a boat or go to the local cable park, called Texas Ski Ranch (TSR), if I don't have access to a boat. Wakeboarding is also a great combination of being athletic and getting a workout in. I hope to continue to improve at wakeboarding and eventually learn more advanced tricks.
Surfing is another one of my favorites and I would like to spend more time doing in the future. There are two types of surfing I enjoy doing which is in the ocean and wake surfing which is surfing the wake behind a boat. I like how surfing challenges you athletically and requires you to understand ocean currents and adjust to the conditions that are constantly changing. It also connects with my interests in traveling and the ocean. I hope to eventually travel to different coastal destinations where I can experience new beaches and learn more about surfing.
