What is a Wakeboard?

Answer 1

Both of these water activities are really fun and completely different! Wake boarding is not quite of a challenge, but you can do more tricks such as jumping the wake, butter-slides, 180, 360, flips, ect. But Surfing is more of a challenge to keep the board in the sweet spot and ride the wake.
