What's A Jib?
Jibbing is a term used in wakeboarding to describe the action of jumping, sliding or riding on top of objects like boxes and rails. It is directly influenced by grinding on a skateboard. You will typically find this type of wakeboarding done in wake parks or in urban winch spots.
Why Is It Different?
