With the arrival of that new Nautique G23, we've had wakeboarding on the brain. A lot. And as we talk to people about it, something becomes clear: wakeboarders seem to sort of speak a different language. So if you’re looking to learn more about the world of wakeboarding, we recommend you brush up on a few terms first.
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? We are excited to learn more about the world of wakeboarding!
