Top Watersports to Enjoy While Boating

A day of boating can be even more fun with watersports! These activities can range from a leisurely low-speed ride to an adrenaline-filled outing. Below, we cover some of our favorite watersports activities to enjoy while boating.

If you are still in the market for a boat, head over to Thayer's Marine. See our selection of boats for sale at our dealership in Norwich, Connecticut.

Wakeboarding

Wakeboarding is a thrilling watersport that involves riding an elongated board behind the boat while using the wake to jump and perform tricks. It's a great way for riders to show off their skills, get some air, and have a good time. 

Water Skiing

Water skiing is another classic watersport that involves being pulled by the boat while standing on two skis or one ski. Skiers are able to do various tricks depending on their level of skill and often combine slalom skiing with jumping in order to really show off their abilities. 

Inner Tubing

Tubing is fun for all ages and does not require any special skill or ability. Riders sit in an inflatable tube while being pulled by the boat and can enjoy a leisurely ride across the water. 

Wake Surfing

Wake surfing is similar to wakeboarding, except that riders do not need to use bindings on their feet. Instead, they stand on the surfboard and use the wakes created by the boat to maneuver. This watersport requires less strength than wakeboarding, making it a great option for those who prefer a more leisurely experience.
