    Fascinating. We used to live in Tempe - Arizona, that is!

    This is a great way to spend a beautiful, warm afternoon. And this appears to be a beautiful spot!

    Wasn't it beautiful weather. Wouldn't have thought there was enough room for speed boats there.

    Great action shot is wakeboarding similar to skiing?

    Yes amanda, wakeboarding is similar to waterskiing, except both feet are strapped onto a wakeboard rather than two separate water skis.

    Imagine my surprise too (Jacob) to never have heard of the Cooks river, I ALSO used to live in Tempe! Regardless, the wakeboarding looks like a lot of fun!
