Wife and I are 38 and kid free (were not opposed to others having them). We live in mid-michigan and enjoying be on the lake regularly. We can usually find some people (ballast) who will go out on boat, but they never want to get in water. None of them have any understanding of the wake or what the appeal is of being behind the boat. Then if they bring there kids, tow them around lake on a tube for an hour, burning gas. I am trying to get to the point where I can do some tricks on the wakeboard and it would be great to have someone with some skills to share or even the interest to try to learn.
