Initially, you might think that surfing and wakeboarding are different names for the same discipline, but actually there are differences. What are the main differences between these two sports? I can immediately name three main differences between surfing and wakeboarding: while surfing legs are not attached to the board by anything, in wakeboarding, on the contrary, they are always attached. The speed of a wakesurf is half that of a wakeboard;
surfing is riding on a wave without a rope, while on a wakeboard you always ride holding on to a halyard - a rope with a special handle that is attached to the boat.
