Grab
Using your hand to grasp onto the rail of the wakesurfer. Can be used while making a hard turn or in combination with an aerial. When in combination with an aerial, the wakesurfer's hand grasps the rail of the board while in the air and the releases before landing. Either used to maintain control of the board while in the air or to add difficulty or style to a normal aerial. Different grabs have different names depending on the location of hand placement on the board. Some of the most common grabs are Indy, Mute, Lien, Nose, and Tail.
