  • I've been wakeboarding for a few years now, but never really thought about the physics that goes into it. In this video, we talk about the fluid dynamics that makes wakeboarding possible and how it is very similar to an airplane.
    Thank you so much for watching this video! If you would like to suggest a video idea please leave it in the comments, and if you enjoyed please like and subscribe! It was my pleasure to add a bit of science to your day!

      I just watched his video as well. Glad to see you're still making videos too. I've subscribed. Keep it up!

    Great video. I could smell the water. Only because my memories of water skiing involve water shooting up my nose for what seemed like an eternity while I attempted to plane using an under-powered boat. I can still imagine the discomfort and smell the water. Water and I are not friends. I think that's why I quit water polo in high school and played basketball instead. I was short, but at least I didn't drown. Cheers.

    That was a fun one. The 10° is certainly an oversimplification, but not an entirely unreasonable one.

    I just subbed
    Somehow this is better than crash course physics
    Be more like Mark Rober and you’ll get more subs

    Nice, this is helping me in trying to determine if my wakeboard tower is strong enough...I'm trying to find the rope tension during a deep water start for an amateur young wakeboarder. Anyone has an idea? My guess is 40-60 kg. Of such individuals, who could hold much more weight in two hands? Anyone?

    Something I've been curious about for a while is regarding your map in the background of your videos - is there a specific reason for blue shading in some regions/countries? Always find the videos you post very interesting - thanks for sharing!

      I don’t think there really is, the map only has two colors so I guess they mix it up so the different countries stand out.

    I don't think the math takes getting up into account. If you were to accelerate to 3MPH while on a dock before entering the water it might work at that velocity.

    A slight point off for mixing metric and American systems...

    • @ScienceC

      The jet ski measured speed in MPH so that was the easiest way to test, but I did try to use metric as much as possible.
