滑水是一種結合技術、速度、膽識、美學，緊張刺激程度高的運動項目，在2009年高雄主辦的世界運動會裡，寬板滑水更為國人留下精彩的一頁。近年來在國際運動總會的努力之下，纜繩寬板滑水很可能被列入2020年夏季奧運的運動項目（IWSF Racing, 2011）。相對於多數身材高大就佔優勢的比賽項目來說，該項目著重個人動作協調性及技巧性，確實較適合國人發展。此外，在中華民國滑水暨寬板滑水協會、地方協會及民間俱樂部團體的推波助瀾下，2006到2011年國內參與滑水運動的選手已由50人成長至93人。目前體壇對於寬板滑水著墨甚少，本文期望能藉由對該運動的介紹及探討，提升其能見度，並希望相關單位能投入更多的人力及資源，發展這潛力項目。

Wakeboarding, an exhilarating and suspenseful sport, requires strength, speed and technique. It impressed a lot of people in the event of The World Games 2009 in Kaohsiung. Wakeboarding most likely becomes one of the sporting items in 2020 Olympics owing to the efforts made by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) during the past years (IWSF Racing, 2011). Compared with those items dominated by tall and strong figures, Wakeboarding focuses more on flexibility as well as coordination, and it is much suitable for us to practice. With the efforts of Chinese Taipei Water Ski and Wakeboard Association, Water Ski Clubs, and some related associations, the number of domestic wakeboarding players had increased from 50 to 93 since 2006 to 2011. From the other point of view, there were not so many relevant researches and articles published in Taiwan so far, with the instruction and discussion on Wakeboarding in this paper, it was expected to raise academic concerns and to give fresh impetus to this sport with more resources invested in from related authorities.
