Le wakeboard. Mélange subtil de surf, de ski nautique et de snowboard, le wakeboard est parfois appelé «wake» ou «planche nautique». Contrairement à la planche de surf, la planche nautique est équipée d'une fixation. Il s'agit d'un sport nautique qui consiste à surfer sur l'eau en se faisant tracter par un bateau; alors qu'à la différence du ski nautique, on n'utilise qu'une planche pour la pratique du wakeboard. Le sportif est habituellement tiré par une corde d'une longueur d'environ 15 m par un bateau naviguant à une vitesse approximative de 35 km/h. 4, record 1, French, - planche%20nautique

wakeboard; esquí acuático sobre tabla: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, explica que dado que el "wakeboard" consiste en dar saltos y hacer piruetas sobre una tabla de surf al tiempo que se es arrastrado por una embarcación de motor, este deporte puede denominarse en español "esquí acuático sobre tabla". 2, record 1, Spanish, - wakeboard
