How close is too close

[NHwakeboarder]

Hey everyone, I've been aching to contribute to this thread for a while but it took a while for my account to be activated. Many of the people here have brought up some good points and I'd like to add a couple more driving pointers that people might not think about when they're around people towing a skiier, barefooter, wakeboarder, wake skater etc... I understand everyone is entitled to enjoy there time on the water, so during busy periods of the day AKA not early in the morning and not close to sunset, these pointers don't really apply. However, as mentioned previously in this thread, many skiiers and wakeboarders love flat water. I've heard a lot of people who aren't familiar with wakeboarding especially say "isn't riding in rough water better because you can jump off the waves?" It isn't. Cutting across a wake at high speeds when skiing or jumping off a large wake is easiest when the water is flat. That being said this link explains some things casual boaters might not think about.

Also, the video is supposed to be lighthearted so please don't take it the wrong way.

If you're towing a tuber or boating casually or even skiing or riding near another person when there aren't a ton of people around and it's clear they're trying to access the flattest water possible, keep the info in the previous link in mind.
