Wake Boarding
Fusing the sports of water skiing and snowboarding, wake boarding is a quickly growing activity both at the beach and on several man made reservoirs around Thailand. In the sea, wake boarders are towed behind a speedboat, much as water skiers are. On a pond or reservoir, a cable towing system is installed so that wake boarders are towed in a circular pattern around the water.
Much like skateboarding, wake boarding is best appreciated once a rider can master some tricks, in the wake boarder's case, using the wake from the boat to jump into the air, spinning or kicking the wakeboard in various maneuvers.
