There is something wonderful about water sports -- they can be adapted to suit almost everyone! We spent some time on the beach with guests this week, who were trying their hand at some of the things you can do behind a ski boat.
Whether it was Rachael, having only her second go at skiing ever, Harry looking like a pro on the waterboard, the whole gang piled into the tube for some speed and bounce, or very young Tom having a go on the waterboard 
in the shallows with his mom pretending to be the motorboat, everybody got to play.

were learned, confidence soared and lots of laughter was heard in the land.

Evan came down to see if he could recall which foot goes forward when he slaloms (and he fell once, which will teach him for missing one of his Bondi summers because he had to, like, work...)Evan learned to ski here, more years back than need to be mentioned -- he was very young! We have taught generations of skiers, and it's always good.
After getting back the feel of the skiis, he was up and gone. He coasted in looking brilliant, but did point out that he'd forgotten how great a workout it is...

Tubing is great good fun, but there is nothing like the sense of 
accomplishment that comes from being able to ride on the water, in control, and "doing it yourself"
