A Whole New Language

Ever since we put our wakeboards on sale, it's all we can think about. Wakeboarding, that is. We just can't wait for the air and the water to warm up just enough so we can jump in, plane off and go. Are you a wakeboarder? If you answered yes, chances are you already know that there's a different sort of language wakeboarders use to describe thigs. If you answered no, we suggest you learn a bit about this language in preparation for the wakeboarding season (because everyone should at least try it!):



Bone it out: to straighten a limb

Butt check: to hit the water with your behind while completing a trick, recovering and continuing

Case the wake: landing directly on top of the wake

Eye-opener: falling so fast you don’t have time to close your eyes

Landing blind: landing with your back to the boat and the rope handle behind you

Load the line: build tension on the wakeboard rope to increase your “pop” when you jump

Stomp the landing: landing a trick cleanly

Wake to wake: jumping off the first wake, then landing on the downside of the other



Are there other wakeboarding terms you use or have heard used frequently? Which is your favorite?
