Waking that does not necessarily involve baking

Because you don't want the strippers at Lake Lewisville to see you at anything but your athletic best, train your own tight little body at Hydrous Park: a state-of-the-art wakeboarding facility that's open year-round to hook you up with everything you need to get started, potentially making you the Rebecca Black of fiberglassed fun. What they've got:

Three Ponds: The park hosts two beginner ponds and one "normal" one, each designed to ensure smooth and predictable water surfaces, and featuring a first-in-the-US pulley system that pushes the quieter/ faster/ smoother envelope, and's large enough that eight people can be pulled at once, a feat only matched by Madonna during her '87 British tour ("pulling" means "making out in a bar" in England!).

Obstacles: Since it's all about getting air, they've got a series of "kickers" designed to launch you, and "rooftop rails" on which to grind. For advanced boarders, they've installed the only quarter pipe in the US, which cost them $40k, but'll only cost you your dignity, plus $29.95 for an unsoiled bathing suit.

Pro Shop: Rent everything you need, or buy your own equipment, including boards by CWB, plus shirts, shorts, hats, and shades from O'Neill, Fox, Volcom, and Billabong, Aussie for a pipe that'll hold four quarters.

As a testament to the facility's credibility, it's hosting September's Monster Wakeboard National Championships -- where a bunch of guys whose entire income is supplied by an energy drink will run off with all your strippers.
