Waterskiing and wakeboarding are popular water sports that involve being towed behind a boat. In waterskiing, participants use two skis to glide across the water's surface, while in wakeboarding, a single board is used. Both activities require balance and coordination as the rider is pulled at high speeds. The main difference between the two lies in the equipment and stance. Waterskiers typically face forward with their feet parallel on separate skis, whereas wakeboarders ride sideways on a wider board. Both sports can be enjoyed on lakes, rivers, or oceans, providing thrilling experiences for enthusiasts.
