The drag vs Speed graph will be a curve, with it's minimum at some speed greater than zero. At slow speed, the skier needs to angle the sji at a high angle to the water in order to produce enough lift to stay upright. This is known in Aerodynamics (and, I imaging, Hydrodynamics) as Induced drag. As the speed incearses, the skier can angle the ski at a lesser angle, thus reducing drag. However, as speed increases further, the frictional and drag forces associated both with the movement of the ski on the water, and the skier through the air increase ("Form and Parrasite" drag). The sum of all drag will reach a minimum where induced drag has reduced, but the other types of drag have yet to significantly increase. Drag will be greater at EITHER a slower OR faster speed than this minimum figure.
