Question

Is wakeboarding easier than water skiing?

Answer 1

This is an interesting question.   I have been skiing now for about 10 years and just started wake boarding maybe 3 years ago.   I would say it is much easier to get up on a wake board as it only took me a few tries to get up, when skis took a few days.   However, I think that once you get up you have more agility and control with skis; so they would seem to be easier for someone with little experience on the water.   Wake boards seem to be harder to control because your feet are attached to the same board, however, this does allow you to do some pretty cool tricks you can't do on skis.  

FYI, if you want something really easy try kneeboarding; and if you want something really difficult try skiing on a kneeboard.
