I was checking out some lakefront homes on the internet and I noticed this image on the lake...

I wanna say power turn because I can't depict any rider being towed. But the turn around he did was a pretty big circle and a left hand turn(when normally people power turn to the drivers side of the boat) so ill go with double up as well

I agree with double up. I know I always turn to the right when picking up my rider (no power turns though), partially because its easier to turn that way and partially because then I can see them the whole time. Anyone else?

my parents live on that lake. I've never seen anybody wakeboarding so I'd guess power turn. I'm also guessing there isn't really anybody hitting dubs there. The lake has a no ballast ordinance so there likely aren't going to be a lot of riders capable of hitting dubs.

Scott, regarding the "no ballast" ordinance -- doesn't this make the lake somewhat useless for wakeboarding?

absolutely, in my opinion anyway. My parents have lived there for about 5 years and I've never even been on the lake in a boat. I mean seriously, what's the point of wakeboarding without ballast? It may be okay for your typical recreational boaters, but for your typical WW die-hard it is completely useless.
