As I remember it the girl was bounced out of the boat when it passed over its own wake. It may not have been faster than 45 mph, but that was not the question.

Any definition of "excessive speed" would include a speed that is unsafe in the prevailing conditions. When people start bouncing out of the boat you are using "excessive speed" for the prevailing conditions.
