Wakeboarding Boats.

Wakeboarding boats are not the same as ordinary boats and are especially made to facilitate the making of wakes and it is on these wakes that the wakeboarder is able to perform tricks both off the water and in the air. No doubt, wakeboarding boats may resemble ski boats since both have ballasts though the weight of such ballasts are different in each case so that the former type of boats can make larger wakes when they move, and along with a wedge, the wakeboarding boats can create specially shaped wakes.
