Accessories: Kneeboard - easy start for beginners and tricks for advanced riders

Kneeboarding is a sport in which the rider kneels on a special board and is pulled across the water by a motorboat. This is easier to learn than water skiing or wakeboarding, as the centre of gravity is lower and stability on the water is increased as a result.

A kneeboard has soft padding for the knees and often also straps that provide additional support. To get started, the rider first lies on their stomach on the board, holds the tow rope and then pulls themselves into a kneeling position while the boat picks up speed. The line can either be hooked into the front area or held firmly.

Kneeboarding is suitable for both beginners and advanced riders. Beginners enjoy the ease with which they can get going, while advanced riders can perform various tricks and turns. The water should also be without large waves. Otherwise, the impact of the waves will go straight to your knees and back. You steer by shifting your weight, which also makes riding easier than wakeboarding or water skiing.
