subject: Wakeboarding: The watersport of the decade [print this page] The size of the ropes and handles vary, but usually they are just over 55 feet and 13 inches respectively.
It is easier to try one's hand at some tricks with a wider grip because one can exchante it behind the back. To help find cords in the case that they are lost, neoprene floats are affixed. The best possible wakeboarding can be seen on lakes, but inter-coastal watercourses are increasing in number.
Boats are being produced with the sole purpose of wakeboarding in mind. Larger wakes are better for difficult tricks. To get larger wakes one can either add weight to the boat or travel faster. Traveling at higher velocities can be dangerous, so sometimes adding weight to the motorboat is a better decision. The evaluation of a ballast tank is based on the weight it can carry. Ballast tanks can be in seat-form so that more passengers can sit in the boat. Both men and women participate in wakeboarding competitions. At the first female competition, Tara Hamilton competed and won. Wakeboarding is a excellent physical workout.
It exercises the heart and builds muscle strength.
