Developed in the late 1980s, wakeboarding is rapidly growing in popularity, with over 3 million wakeboarders worldwide. Unfortunately, roughly 75% of all wakeboarders are males between the ages of 13-24, although at this competition you will be able to see oodles of professional female wakeboarders tearing across the water brilliantly. Wakeboarding is an extreme sport which resembles water skiing combined with snowboarding with a bit of surf thrown in.
