Can you wakeboard on Lake Las Vegas?
A lifejacket, helmet, and activity of choice (wakeboard, or tube) are required for every rider. Kids can participate in tubing and wakeboarding starting at the age of five. While wakeboarding might seem like a sport geared toward teenagers and or adults, it is very possible for kids to get in on the action too. Some even start teaching their kids around age five.Wakeboarding appears to be easier on the body than slalom skiing for “normal” riding back and forth behind the boat. Also making wake jumps on a wakeboard takes less effort than moving a slalom from side to side. The distinction also depends on the skiing level.Since water skiing and wakeboarding work differently, participants in these sports tend to have different injuries. Water skiers are most at risk for injuring their legs, and the injury is most often a muscle strain or a joint sprain. On the other hand, wakeboarders tend to get more cuts, especially to their head.If you’re a beginner, wakeboarding might be the better option, as it is easier to learn and less physically demanding. If you’re looking for a challenging workout, however, waterskiing might be the better option for you.
