17.6.2018 Czechia Sport

When someone knows something, it is a pleasure to look at it and it is even more enjoyable to take pictures of it. This was also the case with one of our former top racers in this sport. And what sport actually I'm talking about? This is wakeboarding. Wakeboarding is a water-based non-Olympic sport that involves riding on board a wakeboard (boat-like board) or a cable-carriage on the water. It was developed as a combination of water skiing and surfing techniques. The first wakeboard was produced around 1986, and since then, this sport has been constantly evolving, especially in ever-evolving and emerging driving techniques. The Czech waterski and wakeboard federation organizes competitions in the Czech Republic, the International Waterski and Wakeboard Federation (IWWF, formerly IWSF) in the world.
