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 2, French, - planche%20nautique
