Interesting comment by @unksskis regarding the cost / economy impacting watersports and skiing. I do a fair amount of skiing on Norris Lake in TN every summer. Last year we noted that there seemed to be a significant number of people waterskiing (especially slaloming) and that there seemed to be a steep drop off in the number of surfing barges. Perhaps the price of boat gas was the straw that broke the camel’s back on top of the cost of the boat, tow vehicle, etc. for the wakesurfing crowd. It was encouraging to see that more people were skiing and were out behind more reasonable boats.
