The temperatures are heating up and summer is just around the corner. Before you know it you’ll be spending long weekends out on the water. We’d love to be out on the water 24/7, but while the cold weather has us holed up indoors, we spend plenty of time online, connecting with other boarders, checking out the latest pictures and videos, and staying current on the wakeboard news of the day.
These internet is full of sites packed with wakeboarding awesomeness. To wet your whistle, check out some of our favorite online wakeboarding haunts:
The WWA
The World Wakeboarding Association
According to the World Wakeboarding Association Website, “The WWA is a non-profit organization created by wakeboarders for the advancement and progression of wakeboarding. We do this by sanctioning and supporting wakeboard events on a global level.”
Membership in the WWA allows riders to compete in WWA events around the world. The WWA also sponsors and runs clinics, and fuels the grass roots wakeboarding organization.
Wakeboarder.com
Wakeboarder.com is another community site that features an impressive collection of training videos and articles. This site is a great place to learn and connect with other wakeboarders, and to follow the big names in the sport.
The Wakeboarder.com shop also features an extensive inventory of everything you need to enjoy wakeboarding.
