Get a ski pole. Keeps the rope up away from the water while your skier is slaloming, means less jerking on the rope.
Kneeboards are fun, we never got a wakeboard, but they look pretty fun too.
Man I wish I lived closer to home so I could borrow the folks boat!

1981 Chaparral 198 (19'8")
Open bow cruiser
3.8 V6 with 2bbl carb
seats 9 and when new had a top speed of 45
Current engine is hurting so one of these days I'm tempted to install a 4.3 TBI engine out of a blazer into it.

we have a wakeboard but it gets pretty painful behind our boat. 18 foot fiberglass speed boat with a 450hp chevy 350 into a berkley jet drive system.
heres two pics of it sitting. we jus took the dash apart for performance guages, hence the seats being out. tucked under the front is a lovely foot pedal. the motor is covered to keep weather off and out of it.

Its going to end up with a rotary. my dad has 3k to spend on the motor, any suggestions?

as light as it is, and being that the rotary spins the same direction naturally as the jet drive, i totally beg to differ.
