You may have seen it on the X-Games, late at night on ESPN, or on your local lake or river, but what the heck is it? 

What is Wakeboarding? 

  1. A board sport that consists of riding a wakeboard on water behind a boat.
  2. Commonly referred to as "snowboarding on water".
  3. Think watersking, but with a board, more fun, and less tight shorts.

Getting Started Tips 

  1. Learn from someone who knows what they're doing. It's much easier to learn how to wakeboard from an instructor or skilled friend than to learn on your own.
  2. Get equipment that fits you and works. Improper equipment can hinder your progress.
  3. Watch instructional videos (see below) and read tips and tricks from websites and magazines.
