"Hello! I’m Francisco Escudero here in Miami, Florida. If you want to learn more about wakeboarding, go to skybanditz.com. So we’ve been talking about different aspects of wakeboarding, and now we’re just going to overview the different elements that we need to do the sport. We’re going to need a boat with a bar and a line extension. We’re going to need a wakeboard. We’re going to need a helmet; then we need a jacket or an impact vest. There are ones that are floatation device and other one’s that are meant just for impact; in case you fall or anything like that. The best thing would be is to combine them both. After that, then we need a driver and a spotter. Your driver is going to be just pulling the boat across, and the spotter just makes sure that the wake boarder or the rider is doing everything safely. If he falls, then there’s different signals that we give to the driver so that he can come around and pick you back up. What you do while the boat is coming around is you have got to sit there, be comfortable, wait for the boat to come back, and then grab the rope again to get ready to go. "
