Great questions, Andjules. Yes, we ski on public lakes, but we just bought a lake house and we can control when we ski. My adult son and I will run a pretend course at 15 off and 34 mph. My wife will slalom strictly for pleasure, but wants a soft easy wake. There are almost no wake boarders in our crew, though I could imagine adding some ballast on occasion so they could have a good pull.
Skiing is our top priority for the next decade.
Wake boarding is a distant second.
