Wakeboarding – An Adventurous Water Sport

Wakeboarding is the perfect sport for people who love adventure and want to

spend holiday time in the water. Wakeboarding combines the excitement of

surfing, waterskiing, and skateboarding into one amazing water sport and allows

you to feel the extreme adrenaline rush. Let’s check out the essentials of

wakeboarding.

Wakeboard

A Wakeboard varies between 120 and 150 cms in length and between 40 and 45

cms in width. Beginners should begin with longer wakeboards with square edges

or square rails which are more stable and easier to control, though round-edged

boards are easier to land. Round edges also allow boards to easily gain speed,

providing quicker lifts during air tricks.

Wakeboard Ropes

Wakeboard ropes vary in elasticity and length. The length of a wakeboard rope is

normally between 18 and 25 meters. They may be one-piece, which does not

allow any length adjustments, or may come with adjustment loops. A tighter and

stiffer rope allows little give and is used to perform air tricks.

Wakeboard Towers

Wake boats nowadays come with wakeboard towers. Instead of the rope being

mounted on the back of the boat, the rope is mounted on a tower, which is

normally 2 to 3 meters from the water level. Wakeboard towers allow a better pull

and stability and also enable a rider to gain more air height while performing

tricks. The towers also provide additional space for other wakeboard accessories.

Wakeboard Accessories

Wakeboard accessories add colour to the sport. Wakeboard speakers may be

attached to the towers and can be used to play music or to give instructions to the

riders, especially beginners. Waterproof covers are also available for the

wakeboard speakers. If you want to flaunt your skills at night, then you can also

add wakeboard lights.

Safety Accessories

Experienced wakeboard riders also take into consideration the rockers, fins,

bindings and the design of the board. Bindings or boots provide a secure

attachment to the boards and will provide comfortable support for the heel and

ankle. Safety accessories like wakeboard helmets, knee supports and back

supports are also essential for beginners while wakeboarding.
