the 12 given words:
fade kick flip limit flash mimic

Wakeboarding was developed from a combination of water skiing,
snowboarding, and surfing techniques. A rider can go towards and
up the wake and launching himself into the air. This can also be done
by riding up a kicker (a jump) and throwing backflips as a show
Using a smaller wakeboard will make the wakeboard feel lighter,
and spin faster. Some boards are specifically designed for cable parks

Water-skiing seems pale in comparison
Now faded, wakeboarding a logical extension
Riding up a kicker and throwing back-flips
Tests the limits of a show jumper at the deep
In quick flashes a mimic of a trapeze artiste
In a state of frenzy a spectacle hard to resist
Without a net but insulated by the water expanse
A spill spells no danger in any event
With smaller and lighter wakeboard to spin faster
Avoiding rims of the jumps to spare from danger
Move off the line, you old fashioned water-skiers!
Now specifically designed for cable parks' 'fliers'

Yes - think I will stick to a gentle walk on the beach with the water quietly lapping our toes - good luck if you take the plunge Hank!
ReplyDeletewhat a trapeze indeed!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness this is thrilling!!
ReplyDeletePerhaps I'll try that when I get younger. Like Jae above I'll stick to tottering along the beach but with a stick!
ReplyDeleteProbably break a leg or two if I tried that at my zoo
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting sport, Hank! Never heard of it. Looks pretty energetic....smiles.
ReplyDeleteI bet they can twist high. In my younger days, I might have tried that.
ReplyDeleteFun to watch. Even though I love the water I would not do this. :)
ReplyDeleteyouth is daring so adventure will always be more and more exciting

ReplyDeleteYvonne.
It looks like so much fun, and you recreated it so vividly I could see it all as if real. However, I'll remain a spectator, lol.
