What's a wakeboard

Wakeboard is a board (resembling a surfboard) that is used to ride over water while being pulled behind a motorboat.
However, it's not that simple

Like water skiing, which most people are at least familiar with. But what is the difference with skis ?
The main difference is that instead of skis, the boarder uses a single board (like a snowboard) with bindings. Wakeboards are shorter in length than snowboards and slightly wider.

Regarding the boat, it is similar to a water ski boat except that the boat is heaver, has a different shape (to create a larger wake) and has a tower or a pole to which the rope is normally mounted. For those that cannot afford wakeboard-specific boats because they are very expensive , larges sacks filled with water can be used to increase the size of the wave behind the boat, which will allow to perform tricks by jumping.

Where do you do wakeboard?

I do wakeboard during the summer period in the estuary. According to the conditions I go or towards Royan, Mescher or still has Soulac in front of cranes !

Have you ridden the bore wave ( the big tidal wave that comes down the estuary each year)?

Not yet, but soon i hope !
