What are the differences between wakesurfing and wakeboarding?

A wakesurfer stays on top of the water by catching waves generated by the boat, and plays various tricks.

A wakeboarder stays on top of the water through a leash connected to the back of the boat, and is generally more demanding on wakeboarder’s physical condition than wakesurfing as the boat rides at a higher speed.

A wakeboard usually comes with a binding to connect your feet to the board, while your feet can move freely on a wakesurf board.
