What is Wake Boarding?

Wake boarding is a water sport where a rider, standing on a wakeboard, is towed behind a motorboat across its wake and especially up off the crest to perform aerial maneuvers. It combines techniques from water skiing, snowboarding, and surfing and is known for its exhilarating jumps and tricks.
