WAKE B

OARDING

AIM OF THE GAME

In this water sport, it is all about the difficulty of the tricks and how original the tricks are. You get pulled behind a boat at thirty to forty kilometres an hour and do tricks over the wake. The judges give a score after you have had your run.

EQUIPMENT

The equipment used in this sport are boats, ski ropes and wakeboards. You will also need a life jacket so you don’t drown. The wake boards around two hundred to twelve hundred dollars it depends on how much you are willing to pay you will need bindings and fins on your wake board other wise it is pointless in buying. Wake boats are the most expensive thing in this sport the can cost from ten thousand to seventy thousand dollars. The boat will need a high pole or a wake tower. Ski ropes are cheap but you should get a preferred wide handled rope.

THE AREA

The area that you use is all water sometimes there are rails but generally it is a lake that is natural or man made. The difficulty of the riding part can depend on how rough or calm the water is.

HOW TO WAKEBOARD STEP 1 Lie on your back in deep water with your feet in the

wakeboard bindings. The wakeboard will float in front of you, and you want it to be flat to the water. You want to be holding the handle before you start.

STEP 2

Hold the wakeboard rope and handle in your hands with the handle flat to the water. Keep your arms straight as the boat accelerates slowly and pulls you up. Make sure to bend your knees

STEP 3

Stay in a crouched position until the board is out of the water. Stand up slowly, as if you are coming up out of a squat. Make sure to lean back a bit so you don’t fall on your face

STEP 4

Swing your foot forward so that the front of your board is facing the boat. Place your weight over your back foot and. Keep your knees bent and your arms straight.

STEP 5

Get comfortable on your board. Remember to keep the handle on the same side as your hip that's facing the boat. Put your hips over your front foot and your shoulders over your back foot.
