Wakeboard Trick List

Wakeboard tricks have some very creative names which often have nothing to do with describing the trick being performed. If you're new to wakeboarding this can be very confusing so this list is design to help you out!

BASIC TERMS
Regular Stance: A rider whose dominant stance is left-foot forward.
Goofy Stance: A rider whose dominant stance is right-foot forward.
Switch or Switch-stance: When a rider rides or performs a trick with their non-dominant foot forward.
Heelside: Any trick in which the rider edges in on the heelside edge of their board.
Toeside: Any trick in which the rider edges in on the toeside edge of their board.
Frontside: Any spin-trick in which the rider spins in the direction of the front of their body.
Backside: Any spin-trick in which the rider spins in the direction of the back of their body.
Air Trick: Any trick performed off the flat water. Most often performed at cable parks. Air tricks are NOT tricks performed off the wake of a boat, or off of a ramp.
Invert: Any trick in which the rider's board goes abover their head. This does not necessarily mean the rider performed a flip, as a "Raley" (see trick list below) is considered an invert.
Mobe: Any trick in which the rider performs a flip and spins 360 degrees or more.
Wrapped: When a rider approaches a trick with the handle in their backhand wrapped behind their back.
Blind: When a rider lands a trick with the handle in their backhand wrapped behind their back facing away from the wake or the cable.
Funny-Wrapped: When a rider lands a trick with the handle in their backhand wrapped behind their back facing the wake or the cable.
Osmosis: A spin trick in which the rider lets go of the handle mid-air and then catches the handle with the same hand.
