H-U-G-E Fail.

Have you ever gone water skiing?
Or should I say, have you ever gotten your butt out of the water while on water skis?
I haven't.
Nope. Ass up...then down .5 seconds later.
Face plant in water.
Skis flying everywhere.
Except on top of the water.
It was not a pretty sight.

What is even worse is that my 8 year old son did better than me.
And my hubby got up first try.
And stayed up.
Then dropped a ski.
And stayed up.
For awhile. Just to rub it in.
I suck.

But I can take it.
At least I tried
....and failed.
Hmph.

Good for you for trying!

I used to ski and then I fell on a ski sideways and it went up my butt. That was the end of skiing for me.

I couldn't water ski to save my life. But I'm very good at falling over on water skis...

Hey, at least you tried! That counts as an accomplishment in my book! I would never even try!

Never tried water skiing, but change the word water to snow and you've described my one and only time on the hill!

Never been. I swim like a stone. Good for you for trying. It does look fun excpet for the possibility of drowning part which is not an issue for people who know what they are doing when it comes to water play. Just not my thing I guess. Always wondered though, when you lose a ski, how do you get it back? Do they float?

Yeah, I skied when I was like a teenager. And even then I had a hard time getting my but out of the water. But it was fun!!

I've never tried, even though I live in FL, and probably never will because I am a HUGE klutz!

Awesome pictures. Good for u for giving it a shot. One day I'll get the courage to do that, lol.

At least you tried! My hubs tried recently and it didn't work out well for him at all...I thought he had drowned, but he came back unfortunately.

Hey ... at least you tried! I did this when I was little ... I think it is easier when you are little.

My husband is a good water skier. Me ... the last time I was in that position I thought, "It really hurts my knees when I get up there. WHY am I doing this? It just isn't fun." Maybe I'll try wake boarding. Then again, maybe I'll just take pictures of everyone else in the water. Someone has to take the pictures, right? :)

I tried water skiing when I was younger, dislocated my hip and swore I would NEVER try it again. To this day, I haven't and won't. We have a boat so I was "forced" to do something. I've learned how to wakeboard and wake surf. LOVE them both. Throw away the skis and try a board. :)
