Rail Slide on a Wakeboard

A rail slide on a wakeboard is where a rider hits an immovable hand rail extending out of the water. This is a type of trick. The rider slides along the length of the rail using the bottom of their board. The art of rail sliding is becoming very popular within the sport of wakeboarding, and more and more people are learning how to do it every day. Many of the major contest courses are adding rail-sliders to their courses to reflect this growing trend. However, learners are advised to be very careful when learning this trick, as it can be dangerous.
