One things I've wanted to accomplish for years, is to see how far I can wakeboard.

It sounds crazy as usually wakeboarding is about tricks but it's always something I've been intrigued by. Challenge No.1 is to see if I can wakeboard 100 kilometres. It's basically a wakeboard marathon!!

The wakepark runs at about 30km/h so on this basis I should be able to do it in less than 4 hours. I also work out that each lap is about 0.5km, so it adds up to over 200 laps!!

It started out fairly easily, and I thought I would blitz it, however I quickly learnt that the first 50km would be a lot tougher than the second 50km.

My hands, feet, arms and toes all began to cramp up at around 70km making it nearly impossible to hold on.

When all is said and done, I'd love to now see just how far I could go at a faster speed!

Thanks so much for watching, and I hope you enjoy the different style of video.
