This offspring sport is like water skiing except that you ski on one board instead of two skis with foot-bindings attached to your feet. Taking a drink face first is every wakeboarder s rite of passage. That said, wakeboarding is easy.
Most people are able to balance on the board after a few tries.
And before you know it, you d be performing somersaults and tricks like a pro. Unless you ski into a pole, there is little danger from wakeboarding. But like any sport, expect a fair share of bruises from bobbing at high speeds over water. Some rent them out, and some provide it for free. Your boat driver also acts as your ski instructor and he ll be able to teach you the basics and also monitor other safety elements like the speed of the boat.
