Wakeboarding Grabs

Combine the wide variety of grabs that exist with the number of inverts, and you have a limitless selection of combinations that allow riders to show their unique style. A grab is performed when a rider grabs the board in various locations with their hand. The secret to grabs is to bring the board to your body as opposed to reaching for the board.
