Depending on the weight of the skier and the number of skis used, you can waterski at half that speed.
For a full-sized adult, it's "work", but it's still done and enjoyed by thousands. In considering the full history of the sport, perhaps enjoyed by millions!

I think most recreational skiers go around 25 mph to 35 mph. I really don't see your point above. I assumed BRK was pointing out that most do not ski near 45 mph. Unnecessary drama?

But then it gets really odd...APS links to Les Hall's comments from what appears to be an out of state cruiser forum talking about speed limits.

What has that got to do with pulling a water skiier? Anything to muddy the waters heh APS?
