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, snow boarding
and surfing techniques. The rider is usually towed behind
a motorboat; typically at speeds of 18–24 miles per hour
depending on the water conditions, board size, rider's weight,
and rider's comfort speed. But wakeboarding can also be
performed with a variety of media including closed-course
cables, winches, PWCs, and ATVs.
