learn how to wakeboard

One of my friends went wakeboarding this summer, and they said it was sick just riding on water. Oh yeah, I’ve never even DONE an alternative extreme watersport, like wakeboarding or wakeskating, so, could anyone who has answer this question: when out riding on the water, what body strength does it require? I’ve watched it on TV, and it looks like it mainly requires a lot of arm strength, but then I see the riders get air off the wakes, and it looks like a lot of leg strength, too. Does it require full-body energy?

would be so awesome!!!! i already love waterskiing so that would be a good next goal to achieve.

When I see people on tv or like at a beach or lake wakeboarding, it makes me think to myself: I’m sure I could do this, I just have no time to. Oh well some day I’ll eventually learn how.
