The wake boarder is pulled by either an inboard or out board power boat which has a high stainless steel structure where the ski rope is attached. The boat is also loaded with ballast and is low in the water so that it creates a bigger wake for the wake boarder to jump over. The wake boarders perform numerous tricks such as reverse turns , somersaults and various types of jumps. Milnerton Aquatic Club has hosted many Wake Boarding Competitions where not only MAC members take part but also Provincial and National competitors. The competitions are normally held at the ski lane by the island. These competitions are normally well attended and great fun.
