How many injuries have you sustained while wakeboarding?

Never broken just bruised. Been doing it from age 14-30.

With good gear, I haven’t had any wakeboard injuries. With old style bindings, I’d mess up an ankle from time to time and take a few hits. Nothing along the lines of a concussion. Start with slow speeds and learn slowly. And never ride tired.

I surf much more than wakeboard. I enjoy both, but still like the intensity that wakeboarding brings. I would not call wakeboarding a major risk.

Wakeboarding = concussions. No way around it, it's a high risk, high reward sport. If you worried about risks its not the sport for you. Kids are designed to learn and able take the impacts and bounce back without issue, adults not so much.

You're not gonna see broken bones, I've had an ACL tear, bruised ribs, and head smacks that will f you up, I started wakeboarding late like 35? Definitely a young man sport.

Better to stick with skiing and surfing and tubing.
