The sport involves riding a wakeboard over wakes or what riders call “whitewash ripples” caused by the surface trails of a boat. The boat pulls the rider along as he maneuvers and plays tricks on his board. In wakeboarding competitions, the more difficult the move the rider executes, the more points he gets.
