Wake Sports Discipline
Boat
Wakeboard
Wakeboarding is a surface water sport which involves riding a wakeboard over the surface of a body of water. It was developed from a combination of water skiing, snowboarding, and surfing techniques.
Wakesurf
Make no mistake, wakesurfing is actual surfing. The difference is that instead of Mother Nature providing the wave, it’s the boat’s wake that does the work. The start is similar to wakeboarding. Riders are pulled from a deep-water start via a short towrope and use similar edge-to-edge weight shifts to maneuver the board to the left or right.
Boat
Wakeskate
WakeSkate is a water sport and an adaptation of wakeboarding that employs a similar design of board manufactured from maple or from fibreglass. Unlike wakeboarding, the rider is not bound to the board in any way, which gives the sport its own unique challenges.
Cable
Wakepark
Cable is a way to wakeboard, in which the riders rope and handle are pulled by an electrically-driven cable, whereas traditionally a rider is pulled by a motorboat. The mechanism consists of two cables running parallel to one another with carriers between them every 80 metres.
