Slim to none. Make sure the bindings are snug, not tight. If you’ve never tried it before and struggle just to get up, your chances of getting hurt is .001%
Hardly any. Basically unless you are doing flips and stuff there is no way you can get injured… that is unless a shark comes and eats you
In all my 3 years of wakeboarding i still haven’t been injured
if you do it on a proper watersports lake, not very dangerous, if you do it in the sea, more dangerous. But its not particularly dangerous either way- not in same way as kiteboarding can be i don’t think. just as with most sports, as long as you’re taking care and being sensible, risks are minimal.
the other answers imply safety at a beginner level. and, for the most part,they are correct. but there never is a sure thing when talking sports. one awkward fall or twisting movement can get you hurt but the percentages are very slim. if you already have issues….knees, back…whatever, just go easy. you’ll love it.
none unless theres like rocks in the sand or something
i have had 7 concussions from it.
Our friend’s 19 year old son was killed 5 days ago from a wake boarding accident. He suffered a severe brain injury when his head hit the water. Wake boarding is an extreme sport and does come with dangers. PLEASE wear a helmet!
