That's a tough wave to stay on without a good deal of practice.  I do 
think it's the best choice, if you have the skills to make use of it.  The 
stern wake is pretty good and it's easy to stay on.  Plus there are several 
stern waves you can make use of as you close in on another boat.  The 
stern waves are at about 1 boat length intervals.  If you look closely 
you can usually spot 3 to 6 stern waves.
