I am planning on making my own ski lake at the ranch, I have an existing water body which is basically a 5 acre round pond. I will have to excavate somewhere around 1500ft and enough to turn around in at the end. Biggest question is how wide would be the minimum width to where you could still comfortably slalom and not hit the sides if shit hits the fan. I’m guessing 75ft+ 20/25ft each side? Anyone has experience with sloped shores vs vertical shores? I’m assuming waves dissolve much better on sloped.

I remember skiing/wakeboarding behind a seadoo many years ago where the rear end always wanted to slide around and the driver had to constantly correct speed and heading because the cuts would slow them down quite a bit. How are the newer “dedicated” tow jetskis with cruise control? How is the wake?

I am obsessed with Land Cruisers, I now own three and am eyeing marketplace like a fucking eagle.

Please help.
