How much of wakeboarding is skill?

So, I wanted to ask peoples opinion on this. How much skill does it actually take to be good at wakeboarding and how much is it is just water time, coaching, etc? Cause I see all these young kids coming up and just killing it but then I remember that they probably live in Florida, ride multiple times a day and get coaching from the best in the world. Cause I think that given the same opportunity, many of my friends that wakeboard and even some people that don't even ride could be as good or better these people. I think wakeboarding might break down like this,

50% water time.
25% coaching.
15% drive.
10% skill.

Also what are your guy's/gal's opinions of parents pushing there kids in wakeboarding? Because I go to contests now and see parents yelling at little johnny cause his indy grab wasn't wake to wake. When did wakeboarding suddenly become like baseball? I remember back when I started wakeboarding, one the the things that drew me to the sport was it was all about having fun and parents didn't yell at their kids if they did something wrong. My parents were always encouraging me wether I did a HS jump or a moby dick it didn't matter. But Soccer mom/dad wakeboard parents are what is now ruining wakeboarding for me cause it's turning into any other sport, like baseball. Wakeboarding should be about having fun and self-expression, not your parents pride and their imposed will on their children.
