Ya should have seen the looks we were getting from other people on the lake. Mostly confused stares, except for one person nearby that yelled "yaaa!".

Z describes Bus Boarding as being like snow boarding. The rope is at the edge of the minimal wake the pontoon makes. Sliding to the outside a little bit lets you ride on the smooth undisturbed water.

It kind of looked like a slow speed slalom.

The dedicated professor. With only 4 people and two boats, we have to trade-off who goes to be spotter for wake boarding. It's my turn now, so Kate stays back and grades papers on the pontoon boat.
