Key term(s)
  • wake-boarding

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ski nautique et surfing
CONT

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.

OBS

planche : L'Association «Ski nautique et planche Canada» utilise le terme «planche» comme équivalent du terme anglais «wakeboarding».

  • Esquí acuático y surfing
DEF

[...] modalidad del esquí acuático que se practica con una tabla corta sujeta al esquiador […] por medio de zapatas, botas o fijaciones que están colocadas de forma perpendicular al eje longitudinal de [una] tabla.

CONT

Uno de los únicos deportes motorizados de los Juegos [Panamericanos], el wakeboard es un espectáculo de giros, saltos, vueltas y vuelo. Solo los hombres compiten en wakeboard, una competencia basada en figuras y con jurado en la que los competidores en tablas cortas se elevan en el aire utilizando la estela de la lancha como rampa.

OBS

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".
