Honestly... I think you're both at fault. If you're consciously leaving hazards in an area of water that you don't control (eg: pretty much anywhere on Winnipesaukee) then you're just being irresponsible. Your personal ski acrobatics are not THAT important.

Similarly, if you're not able to see something floating in front you, you're not paying enough attention.
