I did take one wake over the back of the boat as if I were surfing it and got wet, but all the others I took head on and no problem. There was one guy that made two passes and was looking at me the entire time on both passes as if I were going to say let's go or something. I'm not a violent person but that guy was pushing my buttons. I felt it was better that I kept my cool and just ignored him. Do you guys get this also?

Remeber, by law any wake that a boater creates they are completely responisible for any damage or injuries it causes. If a boater flips you due to the wake they created... you can sue them.
