Now that the season is winding down, there's less boat traffic and less wakes. If you have access to a course, this time of year on a public lake can be fun.

What about those who don't have a course to run or perhaps don't have time to put it up? How do you train on open water? I try to find a nice cove and practice rhythm ... Cross wake, three count, cut, pull, cross wake, etc. Also get on camera so I can see my body position. The camera not only adds ten pounds, but also makes me look out of balance!

Any other open water practice ideas? Ski on!
