A bit like snowboarding on water, wakeboarding offers an adrenalin rush for you and a good laugh for spectators. Unless you’re one of those annoying people who picks it up straight away. You wait in the water holding the handle attached to the pull cable, waiting for it to tauten and force you up. If you can stand, you’ll be towed around at speed, but it stops if (when) you fall. Once you’ve got the basics – or if you’re a pro – you can have a go at ramps and jumps at these purpose-built sites.
