   You may have just begun wakeboarding, or you are thinking of picking it up. In this case you will need to talk to others who are skilled, and of course you don't want to sound like a dummy! Here are some of the most basic wakeboarding tricks terms to get you started learning.

Air - One of the most important terms in wakeboarding. When we talk about 'air', we're just saying how much air you got between yourself and the water. So if someone tells you that you had 'big air', don't worry, that's a good thing. It means you went high!

Bail - This is what we call falling off your wakeboard.

Bindings - Fittingly enough, these are the rubber boots that keep you on the board. They bind in you place.

Bone Out - This is one of the wakeboarding tricks terms that means you have straightened out your leg. When you 'bone out grab,' you straighten your leg while you are grabbing.

Digger - You don't want a digger, because it stands for a 'bad wreck.'

Invert - When a rider flips upside down in the air, that's an invert.

Nose - The tip of the board; the end that is closest to the boat.

Set - When you take turns on the wakeboard with other riders, each turn is called a 'set'. Set is just another way of saying 'turn' here.

That's not all the wakeboarding terms there are, but these are the very basics to get you started. Now, when you talk to someone who is skilled at wakeboarding, you will at least be able to communicate with them! You might be a 'newbie,' but you don't want to sound like one!

Wakeboarding is one of the most fun sports in the world. Use this lingo for wakeboarding tricks and terms to help you learn. Have fun, but don't break a leg!
