What is Wakeboarding you ask? Well,i found an answer to that question over the web, they kept the answer very simple, Wakeboarding - a buoyant board (resembling a surfboard) that is used to ride over water while being pulled behind a motorboat. However it's not that simple! Never was,never will.

The true meaning!

Wakeboarding is an extreme water sport that combines techniques from surfing, water skiing and snowboarding. A wakeboard is normally towed behind a boat at a speed of 18MpH - 24 Mph ,and is ridden sideways like a snowboard or a skateboard. If you love the feel of adrenaline electrifying your whole body ,you love speed and love to make heads turn then this will be a perfect sport for you! But a big warning to everyone out there, YOU WILL GET ADDICTED TO WAKEBOARDING IF YOU EVER TRY IT . So think twice before trying wakeboarding .

Gears you will need!

These are the things you will need for Wakeboarding:
1.Wakeboard
2.Wakeboard Bindings
3.Wakeboarding Boat
4.Pilot
and last but not least !
5.BALLS OF STEEL!

The first 4 items will normally be provided when you attend a wakeboard school or when you rent a boat, but not for the last item.

Am i suitable ?

YOU! YES YOU! You've already taken the first step, which is learning about wakebording ! You're definately suitable for this sport! Wakeboarding is not for the weak at heart ! This sport will get you pumping steel into your hot bod! Wakeboarding is suitable for many ages including people on the middle age class. As long as you are ready to get addicted to this sport you are definately suitable!
