We have the only boat on my 100 acre lake that's NOT a pontoon, so we can pretty much do whatever, whenever we want. There is never any "busy time". The best part is firing up the BU, and watching everyone come out to their docks, decks, to watch what we do next. My folks live about a half mile from the lake and they claim they can hear us. Oh what a life, we are really truely blessed.

LOL.

About a month ago, we ran into a group of people at a restaurant, and one guy was wearing a "Shrimp Sunday" t-shirt, which is a huge party on Labor Day weekend, on a sand bar up on Gull Lake (Brainerd, MN). We've been going to this every year for about 8 years now. We all got to talking, and we told him that if you see a black and red Malibu out there to stop and say hi.... We got a reaction from him that basically went "Ohhhhh, Malibu.... That's a nice boat.... Have you got any skills to back it up????" ..... LOL. I was like, " Sorta.... We hydrofoil, we're ok." At which point my wife pulls out her phone and starts showing him pictures of me, pretty much none of which even have water visible in them, just me flipping through the air. His jaw dropped, and his response was "Holy sh*t, I guess you can back it up!!" ..... It was pretty funny.

For us:

90% - Hydrofoil.

10%- Surf.

You got a coffee shop on your lake? Why do I suddenly feel deprived?

It's actually kind of random, we live on the quiet 'fishing' side of the lake 25+ miles from any form of commercial/tourist type businesses and only one place to get gas, but there's a small town, 1,500 people, 7 miles up stream with a boat dock and water side coffee shop, diner and bakery. We board up there, snack and board back.

[footnlongline]

Slalom, board, wakeskate, foot, knee board, belly board, cruise, swim. It really depends on the day, weather, who's with and the over all mood. It used to be all about footin, but I really like the slingshot of slalom lately not to mention the freedom of wakeskating and belly boarding.

[LiquidCourage]

75% wakeboard

10% kneeboard

10% tube

5% skate

Just boat a surf board, so this will change. We all swim while the ballast is filling and between sets.

[Texoma LSV]

Embarrassed to say but...

50% tubing

40% wake boarding

10% surfing

Can't get the kids off the tube (3,6,8)! Try like hell to throw them off, it's a sit down model, and scare them back on to the board but no such luck.. so far.

[MalibuNation]

All wakeboarding the last 2 years except I've skied once ... and an occasion pull of kids on a tube.

[footndale]

Response lx

barefoot, train barefooters, show ski doubles, jump, around the boat, swivel(yawn)

[itsonlywater]

85% Wakeboarding

10% Surfing

5% wakeskating, kneeboarding, tubing

Wakeboarding is king for us

Haven't skied in about 2 years but thinking about breaking it out soon.

Would surf more but draining, moving, and refilling sacks makes it not worth it for a quick set

Kneeboard is used to teach kids not to be afraid of being in the water.

Tube is forced upon me when the boat is full of kids, ughh.

[Bozboat]

95% of the time it is sitting on the boat trailer

of the time its in the water, most of it is wakeboarding, kneeboarding, and some tubing

Depends on who's boat we are on but mine is something like this.

60% wakeboarding

20% skating

15% hanging out - the girls will drink and listen to music... my buddy's, my son and I fish, as we float down the river. I actually enjoy this as much as I do wakeboarding

5% tube

I have buddies that sky ski, slalom and barefoot, its fun to go out on their boats for a change.

We ski morning, noon and night. Hoping to ski until November 12 this season. New heater went in the garage today. Water temp should be mid to high 40's then. But there will be no tubers on the lake!!!!
