Thrusters (the wakeboarding trick)

Thrusters are a popular wakeboarding trick involving the rider spinning a full 360 degrees while maintaining control and balance on the board. The move typically starts with the rider approaching a jump or obstacle, then rotating their hips and shoulders to initiate a spin. As they turn, they use their body’s momentum and the wake’s lift to complete the rotation smoothly. Thrusters showcase both the rider’s agility and mastery of timing, making them impressive and dynamic tricks often used in freestyle riding to add style and flair.
