with mono water skis (single water skis) in the USA around 1950. The main difference between mono water skis and contemporary wake boards is the shape of the board, the stance and - to a degree - the length of the rope. Waterskiing tends to emphasize keeping clear of the towboats wake and whitewater and using the calmer water-surface while wakeboarding attempts to use wake and whitewater as artificial wave and surf by using a shorter line.
