I am a competitive wakeboarder and I have been doing this since I was 5 years old. I love the sport and thoroughly enjoy it. My dilemma is that I don't live in Florida, which is where most of my competition is from. It's extremely hard to compete with them becuse they get to wakeboard all year round, 24/7, whenever they like. I'm from the Northeast and I don't get those freedoms. My practice time is extremely limited, traveling to Florida costs a TON of money, and I don't have people my age to learn with. I only have my brother and he's younger. I love him to death but I'm a teenage girl. I need kids my age to hang out with. So I get bored sometimes and don't have as much fun with it as I do when I'm with friends. And my dad can't stand this. I know how much he does for me and how much money he spends but I have a hard time doing it all of the time with just my dad and bro. So I need to figure out if I want to continue competing or just narrow it down to doing it for fun.
