Most Embarrasing Moment

One summer my friend Kaitlyn and I went boating together with our dads.  The day itself wasn't extremely hot, but the water was unusually warm for early summer.  Our dads were content with lounging on the speed boat, but Kaitlyn and I had our hearts set on tubing. We anxiously tied knots and connect ropes so that we could get the massive tube in the water.  It wasn't a regular donut shaped intertube though, it was more like a double-wide lawn chair, so we were in a sitting position as we sped across the waters' surface.  We are dare-devils when we're together, so we acted like we could conquer any challenge that arose during our day on the lake.  We repeatedly urged Kaitlyn's dad to press the boat faster and faster, until we were literally zooming across the lake.  Most of the waves we encountered were approached with ease and behind us within a blink of an eye- we were going too fast for the minor bumps in the water to really affect us.  Eventually though, we hit the wake of the boat wrong and literally flew up in the air.  Our legs and arms flailed around in slow motion before we crashed into the water, and by the time we returned to the surface, gasping, the boat was turning around to retrieve us.  The average intertube whipe-out isn't embarrasing at all, but this collision was so over the top I couldn't help but blush!
