Wakeboarding and wakesurfing are our two favorite forms of watersport. Both involve riding on the water behind a boat. There is one big difference though. When wakeboarding you are strapped to the board at all times and race with speeds up to 40 km/h behind the boat while holding on to a handle. You can carve, cruise and jump over the wake. It is faster and more energetic than wakesurfing. When wakesurfing you stand free on the board and surf a bigger wave generated by the boat at a slower speed (ca. 15 km/h), once you feel confident enough and get comfortable with surfing the wave you can let go of the leash and enjoy the true and free feeling of surfing in the middle of the Rhein.
