This type of line, or better, a slackline in this contexte is much more difficult to walk compared to a normal one, above solid ground, because the optical senses do not have any good reference anymore. On top of that, you can not simply start from the ground by stepping onto the waterline but you have to manage some kind of mount to feet, from a sitting or droknee position. Reference: https://slacktivity.com/waterline-slackline/ Quickly hit a 👍 if you're joining us. See you later, we look forward to it. 🤙🙌 Jam session is free, bring good vibes and snacks to share! 🍓🍌🥦🥑🥖🧀 If you have any questions shout me a DM @andieausdemwald on Instagram
