What is a "wakeboard"?
A wakeboard is a type of board used in water sports, where the rider is pulled behind a boat while standing on the board. It is similar to a snowboard but with bindings that allow the rider to stay attached to the board. Wakeboards have a flat surface with edges designed for smooth sliding over the water, and they are used to perform tricks such as jumps, spins, and flips. Riders use the boat's speed and the pull of the rope to gain momentum and execute maneuvers.
