No doubt about it: Wakeboarding is becoming more and more popular as time goes on. It requires more than a smattering of strength and skills to perform the more complicated tricks. The ladies and gents who can pull them off are admirable!

The crowd is blown away when they see someone perform a complicated trick so well and without a hitch. They sure make it look easy. Here is a list of some of the very best wakeboarding tricks around!

Tantrum to Blind - You want to see an awesome trick, this is a great one to start with. If you've never seen anyone pull this off, you should. This is where the rider is facing forward, and goes diagonally to hit a small wave. When he or she hits the wave, they flip up in the air, do a twisting flip, and then land! It is truly amazing.

A Front Flip - One of the prettiest of wakeboarding tricks, this one is where the rider goes flying up into the air after hitting a wave. The rider performs a cartwheeling kind of flip while they are still in the air. Then they come back down, landing hard. Without a doubt one of the coolest tricks ever invented.

The Elephant - This is a great invert trick, where the rider flips up into the air, does a great flip to the side, and comes back down to a hard landing. This looks absolutely stunning if you're able to pull it off.

There are more cool wakeboarding tricks than you can shake a stick at, but they are also amongst the most difficult to perform. They are also some of the most amazing and prettiest tricks that exist.

The thing is, you have to have a lot of skill to excel in a demanding sport like wakeboarding. Kudos to the guys who can do it!
