10. WHAT IS THE HISTORY
OF WAKEBOARDING?

11. A cool combination of
waterskiing, surfing and
snowboarding, wakeboarding
was originally called skurfing
and got started after the advent
of snowboarding.

12. The sport began in Australia and
New Zealand. It was renamed ski
boarding and took off around
the world, with the first World
Skiboard Championships held in
1989 in Kauai, Hawaii.

13. WHAT KIND OF EQUIPMENT DO
YOU NEED FOR WAKEBOARDING?

14. Although a regular runabout is fine
for wakeboarding, a true
wakeboarding boat has a
wakeboard tower made of stainless
steel or aluminum tubing.

15. This tower places the pull point
about seven feet off the surface of
the water, a high tow point that
makes it easier to jump and get
sufficient air for stunts and tricks.

16. Some modern wakeboarding boats
even have ballast tanks that
increase water displacement,
producing a bigger wake.

17. WHAT SORTS OF TRICKS DO
WAKEBOARDERS DO?

18. Wakeboarders can move outside
the wake or cut inward, with jumps
performed by riding up the wake
and launching into the air.

19. Popular tricks have lots of cool names
much like snowboarding maneuvers.
It’s fun to work toward progressing
from beginner to intermediate …

20. … and maybe even expert levels,
learning tricks with funky names
like fashion air, air raley, blind judge,
krypt, batwing and tantrum.

21. CAN YOU WAKEBOARD
WITHOUT A BOAT?

22. Basically, wakeboarding is the sport
of riding a short, wide board
somewhat like a surfboard while
being towed behind a motor boat.Amazingly, there’s been a
system developed whereby fans
of this extreme sport can
perform wakeboarding tricks
without the expense of a boat.

23. Basically, wakeboarding is the sport
of riding a short, wide board
somewhat like a surfboard while
being towed behind a motor boat.
Wakeboarders use an overhead
cable-ski system consisting of a
series of towers, or masks,
surrounding a small lake.

24. Overhead cables rotate around
the lake with ski ropes attached
for pulling a rider or skier along
the wake.

25. Some wakeboarders, especially
beginners, prefer the system
because you can do all the tricks
you can do from a boat without
associated expenses.

26. Cable boarding is really green
too, as you can practice tricks all
day long without burning lots of
gas or dodging other boats on a
crowded lake.

27. WHERE CAN I WAKEBOARD?

28. Wakeboarding is a popular sport on
rivers, lakes and any relatively calm
body of water.

29. You can head out on a friend’s boat
or try the cool sport at a cable
wakeboarding facility.

30. Always remember to wear a
lifejacket and helmet and to have
two people in the boat, one to drive
and one to watch the boarder.

31. Many summer camps have
added wakeboarding to their list
of lively lakefront activities, and
some camps …

32. … even have dedicated programs
allowing kids to specialize in
wakeboarding and waterskiing.
