Mother's Helper
8 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback
As the mom of three boys who love water sports, this book is really useful not only for the kids to learn more about their sport - It is also a great tool for me to know what they are talking about and to guide them to the next steps! With the cold weather here and Christmas around the corner, I think this book will make a great gift for skiers and their parents as well.

Good Starter book
10 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
If you no nothing about water sports behind a boat and want a rundown of all the basic things you need, this is a good investment.
If you are already intermediate level then you may not learn a lot, although sometimes reading about the basics could help, especially if you've never taken any lesson or watched good DVDs like Detention 2012 Wakeboard DVD, or The Book Wake Instruct Series (DVD).
