Have you just started doing wakeboarding? Or are you thinking about giving it a try? You will of course want to talk to those are are already skilled at wakeboarding, but that doesn't mean you have to sound like you don't know the first thing about it! To get you started on learning, here are some very basic wakeboarding tricks and terms.

Air - One of the most important terms in wakeboarding. This simply means how much 'air' you get between you and the water or how high you go. It means you went really high if someone tells you that you got 'big air', which is a good thing!

Bail - Something you don't want to do: Fall off your wakeboard.

Bindings - This is the rubber boots which are attached to the board that keeps you on the board.

Bone Out - This is a term for one of the wakeboarding tricks that means you're straightening your leg out. When you 'bone out grab,' you straighten your leg while you are grabbing.

Digger - You don't want a digger, because it stands for a 'bad wreck.'

Invert - This means that the rider has flipped upside down in the air!

Nose - The tip of the board that's closest to the wakeboarding boat is the nose.

Set - A set is basically your 'turn' on the wakeboard. Each time a rider takes a turn, he has taken a set.

This is just a list of the most basic terms you should be familiar with before you start learning. Now when you discuss wakeboarding with an expert wakeboarder, you'll have an easier time understanding them! Sure, you might be a wakeboarding newbie, but you don't have to advertise it!
