English term or phrase: wakeskating
Like wakeboarding and water skiing, wakeskating is performed behind a boat. The main difference between wakeboarding and wakeskating is that on a wakeskate there are no bindings - creating a whole new list of challenges. (http://www.stokecity.ca/whatiswakeskating.shtml)

Les planches utilisent un design similaire à celui des planches de wakeboard et sont fabriquées en bois contreplaqué ou en fibre de verre. Contrairement au wakeboard, le rider n'a pas les pieds fixés à la planche, ce qui constitue la principale particularité de ce sport.
