 Posted: Mar 31, 2008 9:16 pm Post subject: Future of Wakeboarding. Evolution |
 |
|
I am currently carrying out research to inform a design project creating products for the future of wakeboarding, more specifically binding systems.
As with many sports wakeboarding has evolved from the merging of a number of sports. * What possible sports/activities could you imagine Wakeboarding to merge with in the near or distant future?
I am looking for any ideas no matter how absurd or crazy they may seem!
Underwater slalom, Half/Quarterpipes, Tandem…….
Any information you can contribute will be very much appreciated!
The information generated by this thread; will be used as research for an Industrial Design project by Julian Schloemer.
By posting in this thread you consent to the information you post to be used for the above purposes and consent to the information being available for others to view on this forum.
Any questions please message the thread author.

WTF is underwater slalom? And tandem is either known as riding doubles or (shivers) waterskiing.
Truthfully with the fuel cost, I can see kite boarding taking over.

Not that bad of an idea. Turn up one of those infinite swimming pools, add a rope, grab a skate, ....
