A wakeboard boat is also a type of motorboat that is designed to tow wakeboarders behind it. Unlike ski boats, wakeboard boats have a wider beam and larger ballast system to create bigger wakes for riders to jump and perform tricks on. 4, record 1, English, - wakeboard%20boat

Sillage... is a term used to describe a scented trail left by the fragrance wearer. It comes from the French word for "wake, "as in the trail left in the sky by an airplane or on the water by a boat. Sillage defines how fragrance diffuses around the wearer, and a strong sillage means that a fragrance projects well. Sillage has nothing to do with the richness of the composition, however, but rather with the diffusive nature of the materials that go into it. 4, record 2, English, - sillage

The exhilarating sport of barefoot waterskiing is about the closest humans get to walking on water – "skiers" glide barefoot on the water pulled by a boat moving 40 miles per hour, attempting jumps, tricks and maneuvering laterally through the wake. 1, record 3, English, - barefoot%20waterskiing

[...] le juge en chef, à la suite d'une recommandation de la majorité des juges en fonction, peut disqualifier un skieur qui semble être un danger pour lui-même et pour les autres concurrents. Pendant la compétition, il peut agir de la même manière si un concurrent a un comportement anti-sportif ou pose tout autre geste considéré préjudiciable aux skieurs, aux organisateurs ou au sport du ski pieds nus. 1, record 3, French, - ski%20nautique%20pieds%20nus
