i basically say exactly what you said joey, either "skateboarding on water" or "wakeboarding with no bindings" it generally gets the point across

I normally start with asking them if they've heard of wakeboarding.... which I really need to stop doing. Then I'll go to the skateboarding on water, pulled by something explaination.

If that fails I'll show them Subvert... but normally point them there anyway.... Yes, I plug for myself LOL.

I call it a sport that doesn't have enough women doing it. I wanna see some more chicks at the local lake.

I basically say skateboarding but on water, if they dont know what wakeboarding is, if they know what wakeboarding is I say wakeboarding with out bindings an different board, but usually both.
