(Photography: Drew Dau)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This may feel like an embarrassingly basic question to ask but, to be fair, wakeboarding and wakesurfing are indeed very similar \u2013 both involve a person standing on some sort of board, riding on the wake (i.e. trail of disturbed water) behind a boat. However, there are some major differences.<\/p>\n<p>The first one is the easiest to spot: wakeboarders are towed by the boat as they hold on to the connecting rope throughout the ride; whereas wakesurfers throw the rope back to the boat after gaining their balance. This is because wakeboarding requires the rider to gain more momentum from the boat, so that they can carve fast turns and reach greater heights as they jump from wake to wake. On the other hand, the goal in wakesurfing is for the rider to maintain their speed while they surf the wake behind the boat.<\/p>\n<p>The other difference between wakeboarding and wakesurfing lies in the boards. Wakeboards are symmetrically shaped (known as twin boards), equipped with large fins, and are designed to have your feet strapped onto them with binding boots. As for wakesurf boards, they look akin to regular surfboards and are meant for barefoot riding.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, you may think wakeboarding sounds easier than wakesurfing, because you\u2019re towed and you\u2019re less likely to slip with your feet bound to the board. But, it\u2019s actually the other way around! Most people regard wakesurfing to be more beginner-friendly than wakeboarding. This is because you can adjust your stance more naturally and the boat speeds are lower in wakesurfing. Moreover, you\u2019re less likely to suffer from severe injuries when wakesurfing, whereas the temptation to attempt fancy jumps while wakeboarding can put a lot of stress on your body.<\/p>\n<h3>You gotta know these wakeboarding and wakesurfing tricks<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_182350\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-182350\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-182350 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/wakeboard-wakesurf-hong-kong-2-900x643.jpeg\" alt=\"person wakeboard tricking on sea sunset\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/wakeboard-wakesurf-hong-kong-2-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/wakeboard-wakesurf-hong-kong-2-768x549.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/wakeboard-wakesurf-hong-kong-2.jpeg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-182350\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Can you identify which wakeboarding trick this is? (Photography: Luke Bender)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That said, once you have a bit of experience under your belt, half the fun of wakeboarding and wakesurfing are the tricks! Whether you want to impress your friends or just learn a bit of trivia, these wakeboarding and wakesurfing tricks are worth knowing, especially if you want to take your skills up a notch \u2013 after you master the basics, of course!<\/p>\n<h4>1. Ollie<\/h4>\n<p>You can perform an ollie with or without the rope, making it one of the best known tricks in both wakesurfing and wakeboarding. Basically, an ollie is when you jump with your board, getting a bit of air off the surface of the water. You do this by bending your knees, jumping, and popping the board up towards your chest (work those abs, baby!). Once you manage to get the hang of it (don\u2019t forget to land properly) while still holding onto the rope, it\u2019s time to let go and ride your way up to the top of the wave.<\/p>\n<h4>2. 180 and 360<\/h4>\n<p>Again, the 180 and 360 are tricks you can try in both wakeboarding and wakesurfing. These tricks are all about the turns. While both tricks are a little more advanced, they are impressive, so everyone wants to master them. To initiate the rotation, use your backhand in the wave to pull your body around, looking over your shoulder as your turn to face the boat again. But, like most things in life \u2013 probably easier said than done!<\/p>\n<h4>3. Fire hydrant<\/h4>\n<p>Although this trick is exclusive to wakesurfing, the quirky name alone is as good a reason as any to put it on the list. Also, it looks surprisingly cool despite how straightforward it sounds. For the fire hydrant, you have to lower your body, then put one leg and one arm into the air, leaving the other hand and foot to balance your body atop the board. It\u2019s like a game of on-the-water Twister, apparently!<\/p>\n<h3>Where to wakesurf in Hong Kong<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_182351\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-182351\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-182351 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/wakeboard-wakesurf-hong-kong-3-900x643.jpeg\" alt=\"person jumping ollie wakesurf hong kong\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/wakeboard-wakesurf-hong-kong-3-900x643.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/wakeboard-wakesurf-hong-kong-3-768x549.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/08\/wakeboard-wakesurf-hong-kong-3.jpeg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-182351\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Don\u2019t forget to ask your friends to come along so that they can take pictures for you! \ud83d\ude09 (Photography: HK Wake School HKWS via Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Are you excited to try wakeboarding and wakesurfing in Hong Kong?
