Wakeboarding is a riding a wakeboard over the surface of a body of water. It was developed from a combination of water skiing, snowboarding and surfing techniques.
The rider is usually towed behind a motorboat, typically at speeds of 30–40 km/h (18-25 mph), depending on the board size, rider's weight, type of tricks, and rider's comfort. This speed could also depend on the year, make, and model of the boat.
The sport is particularly popular among young people and requires a somewhat different outfit, which consists of board shorts worn just below the tailbone and a tight-fitting vest. Topping off with copper-colored muscular physique and advanced tricks, wakeboard riders make not only their own heart pound by the thrill of the sport but also the hearts of those watching them.
