Well, I'm going to need a lot of that for today's adventure.
I am at SouthTown Wake Park here in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and as you probably gleaned from the name, I'm going to turn wake boarding for the first time today.
I'm not going to stand here and pretend that I'm not very nervous, because I am, but here we are and we're going for it.
♪ upbeat music ♪ Y'all, we're here with Kyle.
He is going to be helping me out today.
Kyle, can you tell us a little bit about Southtown?
>> Yeah.
This is Southtown Wake Park.
We like to call it an adventure water park.
It's not your traditional water park.
Our passion here is wake boarding.
We offer different water sports here.
We teach people how to wake board.
We have a mean cable system where five people can be riding at a time for wake boarding, knee boarding, water skiing, wake skating, pretty much most tow water sports.
We can do out here.
We have an area for kayaks and paddle boards, and we have an aqua park, which is an inflatable obstacle course, which is a great addition to the park, because it's something where anyone can go out and just have fun.
There's no learning curve or anything.
You just go out and have fun at your leisure.
>> Yeah.
That sounds a little bit more my speed, but I guess today we're going to try wake boarding.
What would you say to someone like me who's actually never wake boarded before?
Why would you encourage them to try something like this?
>> ...I'm going to tell everybody to wake board, because that's my passion.
It's literally the most fun thing I can do.
We take an extreme sport and we break it down, so that way it's a very easy learning process.
It's not like here.
Go do this.
It's okay here's step one.
Accomplish step one, here's step two.
We have two cable systems.
So, we start on the training cable where it's a one on one coaching environment.
The cable runs at the speed that's ideal for you.
Breaking it down makes this extreme sport an easy learning experience for anybody.
>> That makes me feel a little bit better.
So, alright.
I guess... they're already getting started.
Maybe it's time.
I got started.
What do you think?
>> Let's give it a try.
>> Let's go for it Meh.
♪ upbeat music ♪ Before today, I had no idea that places like this even existed but that is what this show is all about going for something, trying it for the first time.
Whether, it makes you nervous or not.
Did I fall?
A lot.
(laughs) Did I have fun?
Yes.
Would I do it again?
Absolutely.
That's what this show is all about, y'all.
Next time you are thinking of trying something new in South Carolina Take it from me.
Just go for it.
