Our new lake, LaPoint Ski Park is an 8 bouy overlapping course, and everyone that has skied there has loved it, including Nate Smith, who bumped our course recorded today, running 41! I love having the zero ball there, I go around it at 28 off, and then go just in front of it at 32 off and shorter. I skied back in Oh today, and on my first pass I was missing having the zero ball here. It really helps you know how wide you are or not. I agree with @ob, take a wind protected, private 4 bouy site anyday over public water and other boat traffic.
