WAKEBOARDING LESSONS -- OK, this is my website and I can brag! My son is pictured above wakeboarding on Lake Travis. That was several years ago. He took lessons from Billy Garcia with Freeride Wakeboard School. Billy is FANTASTIC. He even lets mothers (and I'm sure fathers, too.) sit in the boat and watch while he teaches. : ) His website is freeridewake.com. You won't be disappointed if you hire Billy. Be sure and ask him to show you some of his wakeboarding moves! He is amazing to watch!!
