With the opening of our online store, OnlineWakeboards.com, we are excited to become the place for wakeboarders on Lake Wallenpaupack and beyond! But as we constantly add inventory to our store, we’ve come to realize a few things that make wakeboarders unique from us “regular” boaters. And one of those things is they seem to speak a different language. So if you’re looking to learn more about the world of wakeboarding, we recommend you brush up on these 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!
