Wakeboarding Unleashed

It’s probably safe to say that every extreme sport has been digitally exhausted when there’s an entire video game dedicated to something you could only find on ESPN5. Fortunately, you don’t need to know a lick about this “sport” to look like an aquatic Tony Hawk. And although this often looks and plays like his trick-laden game, the mechanics involved in being slung around from a boat at highway speeds ensure that it feels a lot different. Landlubbers can even let go of the boat and explore on their own. So if you’re desperately looking for the next best thing, sail on. But if you want to crack some new tricks on something a little different, you could do worse.
