They looked for the best ski lakes. They had to be awesome. But instead of zipping over the water, you quickly find yourself spitting it out. Getting out of the water is tough. That's why wakeboards have taken off.
Wakeboards are wide platforms ridden more like a surf board.
Despite Arizona's dry climate, there are plenty of places to waterboard. From downtown Mesa, Saguaro Lake is just a 45-minute drive. Lake Pleasant is about an hour away. Canyon Lake about 75 minutes and Roosevelt about two hours. Houseboating - H2O Houseboating Leisure at its best.
