Wakeboarding is a water sport in which
the rider, standing on a wakeboard, is towed behind a motorboat across its
wake and especially up off the crest in order to perform aerial maneuvers.
A hallmark of wakeboarding is the attempted performance of midair
tricks.
Wakeboarding is done for pleasure and competition
, ranging from freestyle wakeboarding and wakeboard parks to wakeboard
competitions.
Though it had an obscure start, it is now the world's fastest growing
water sport.
