Wakeboarding
Wakeboarding is a surface water sport which involves riding a wakeboard over the surface of a body of water behind a boat. It was developed from a combination of water skiing, snow boarding and surfing techniques.
The rider is towed behind a boat; typically at speeds of 18–24 miles per hour depending on water conditions, rider's weight, board size, and all depending on the rider's comfort speed.
Wake Boards provide a great sporting activity that challenges and encourages the ultimate strength of competition with yourself and the sport.

Learn how to wakeboard
1. The very first step to take up a ride on the surface of water or wakeboarding is to watch the sport on television, a video or at the event like the X Games.
2. Learn the minute techniques involved in this sport by going along with your friends who wakeboard. Watch your friend ride and let someone explain the basics to you while you watch. Try a ride yourself. Don't worry getting wet. Learn from mistakes.

3. Drag your knees to your chest and point the nose of the board up and towards the boat as it begins driving. The resistance of the board against the water will pull you quickly to your feet. Ride straight for sometime to get the feel of the board beneath you. Perform some small turns to get a feel for your edges against the water.
