Wakeboarding Tricks - How To Understand The Lingo

by Jessica P

Are you a beginner wakeboarder, or are you maybe thinking about getting started? In this case you will need to talk to others who are skilled, and of course you don't want to sound like a dummy! To get you started on learning, here are some very basic wakeboarding tricks and terms.

Air - This is one of the most important wakeboarding terms. When we talk about 'air', we're just saying how much air you got between yourself and the water. So if someone tells you that you had 'big air', don't worry, that's a good thing. It means you went high!

Bail - This term describes falling on your wakeboard.

Bindings - Fittingly enough, these are the rubber boots that keep you on the board. They bind in you place.

Bone Out - Whenever you perform a trick that involves straightening out your leg, this is what it's called. When you 'bone out grab,' you straighten your leg while you are grabbing.

Digger - 'Bad wreck.' You really don't want to get yourself into a digger.

Invert - This means that the rider has flipped upside down in the air!

Nose - This is the part of the board that's closest to the wakeboarding boat, the tip.

Set - When you take turns on the wakeboard with other riders, each turn is called a 'set'. Set is just another way of saying 'turn' here.

This is just a list of the most basic terms you should be familiar with before you start learning. Now when you try to talk to somebody who's already a pro at wakeboarding, you at least should have less communication problems! You may be a complete novice when it comes to wakeboarding, but you don't have to sound like one!

Wakeboarding is one of the most fun sports in the world. Use this lingo for wakeboarding tricks and terms to help you learn. Good luck, and DON'T break a leg!
