All in the Family: A History of the Sacred Rules of Surfing and Surf Etiquette and How to Apply Them

Why Wakeboarding?
When summer is fast approaching every family has more time to enjoy each other's company. Summer means more time for fun and more time for each other. And what would summer be without going to the beach and enjoying water sports?

Wakeboarding: The New Surfing
Wakeboarding is a sport of the times. A wakeboarder is a person towed behind a boat or a cable skiing lift at a speed of around 18-24 mph. The main difference is that instead of skis, the rider uses a single board, shorter in length and wider than snowboards, with foot bindings.

If you are a certified aficionado of surfing then you should have possibly heard of the more or less similar version of it. As a beach-buff the sight of unusual surfers might have caught your attention as they are dragged by a boat or by a truck on the water's edge while a ski rope attached their board. It has been quite some time now since that sport was devised, with a bit of transformation because instead of using conventional surfboards one has to use shorter boards in the said sport.
