If you own a boat, you are in luck. Having a boat allows you to try several fun things. If you have a boat, we are assuming you have a boat dock. If not, we will let you know how you can get your very own boat dock installed later. For now, let us not waste any time in letting you know the various boat activities you can try today!
1. Waterskiing
Waterskiing is a sport that both the young and the old can enjoy. In two years, this watersport will turn 100 years old! If you love to work out and go on your boat, you will enjoy waterskiing. Waterskiing gives you a full-body workout. This is a great time to go waterskiing because the lake is not as crowded. You can go 20 to 25 miles per hour, depending on your level of expertise and skill. If you have a boat designed for waterskiing, this watersport activity is for you.
2. Tubing
Have you ever heard of tubing? Tubing is another relaxing and enjoyable water activity, which involves connecting a tube created for towing to a rope and then towing it around the water. If you want a challenge, you can increase the speed to pull the tuber. You can pull the tuber at whichever speed you want, as there is no specified speed to pull it.
3. Barefooting
Barefooting is similar to waterskiing but without the skis. Compared to waterskiing, barefooting is a tough and difficult water activity to master. You can do barefooting off a boom bare attached to the side of your watercraft or on a long line behind your watercraft. You need to buy a barefoot suit for barefooting to prevent bruising and a long line rope. In barefooting, the boat is going at much higher speeds, which is what makes it more challenging than other watersport activities.
4. Wakeboarding
Wakeboarding is more for young people. The older generation can even enjoy it, but it doesn’t appeal to most of them. Wakeboarding combines surfing, water skiing, and snowboarding. In wakeboarding, you will position your body perpendicular to your watercraft while the boat pulls you.
5. Kneeboarding
You will kneel on your heels as if you are surfing on a surfboard and hold on a ski rope while the boat tows you in the water. We recommend you try this one before you try any others, as this is the easiest watersport to try for beginners. Kneeboarding will increase your confidence and get you comfortable with both the water and the boat.
Which watersport activity will you try first? If you want to try them all, one by one, you can, but for that, you will need a boat dock, which EZ Dock Texas can provide to you. We can install a boat dock on your waterfront property. You can even rent it if you want. Just call us at 800-654-8168 for a quote if you reside in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.
