Nice reply, Mike. Saw some pics of Maddie practicing with Stacia. She's looking great!

I think I've fallen into the "don't give a shit" category. We try to do exactly like you describe. Normally, we are at our spot by 6:30-7:00 am and run the same line, up & back. Rider falls, idle down, let the rollers pass, idle back and off again. We stay 100' from shore in an unpopulated part of the lake. But, it's just a matter of time before some jackleg wakeboarding behind an IO or Yamaha jet boat decides he needs to cut perpendicular to our line, or actually runs a circle around us (my favorite maneuver) pointing at our boat and/or rider and giving thumbs up.
