Sharing the water!
I know we have to share the water. But, why is it that the people that are trying to toss people off a tube feel the nee to come into a nice smooth cove? I mean we spent more time waiting for boats to go by the boarding. They had the whole lake to tube on and they come back into our perfectly smooth cove. Oh well just venting. I have read everything and watched most videos on wakeboarding but that does not mean I can do it. I love it so much but only my third time up on a board. I jumped the wake but the landing was ugly. I get better with every pull.

Ignorance. They simply don't know any better. Almost always IO's.

An age old problem that will never be resolved and is hashed out every year about this time.

Private Water
If you think it is bad as a wakeboarder, just imagine how slalom skiers feel.
I'm glad I live on a private lake.1997 MasterCraft 205

the sailor said "Why does the fisherman always fish in the middle of the steadiest breeze?"
the fisherman said "why does the skier always ski where the fish are?"
the skier said "why does the wakeboarder always make waves where the lake is calm?"
the wakeboarder said "where did all these @%$^# tubers come from?"
and the tuber said... WHOOOO!!!!2021 Malibu 23 LSV

Thankfully I have yet to see tubing at 6:00 am. Honestly I get more annoyed with wakeboarders doing power turns than afternooon tubers.

Skiyaker, that made me laugh out loud! I was in a cove first where they were trying to ski and I left. I was trying to find another cove when I saw some guys fishing a point right in my path and I crossed over as to not disturb them and their fish. I am a novice at boating but I do try and be considerate of others. I still had fun! There could have been a hundred tubes and I still would of had a blast! I love my Moomba LSV!!!
