LOL we have storms on the regular that kick up waves greater than 2’.
Enforcement of the 2' wave would be difficult to do. I do see it as a means to stop boats and give them a "warning" with arguments to follow.
I can’t tell you the last time I saw a cop on a lake near me in Michigan
Spent a week on Norris last summer and didn’t see one lake cop.
Who is enforcing these “rules”?
The alcohol limit to 3 drinks per passenger is sketchy, I guess as long as you don’t get caught early In the day.
How would they handle mixed drinks?
Honestly I can’t drink more than 4 beers without feeling full anymore and being passed out drunk on a boat is probably never a great idea.
I blame rap music too lol, my kid throws the F bombing and P lyrics rap on and I too hit the next button.

I recall this from a couple years ago, I think this was a Michigan campaign……
The Wake Responsibly campaign stresses three key points that address, in part, complaints about water sports, especially wakesurfing:
1)Stay at least 150 feet away from docks, structures, and shorelines. (“Ride the core, avoid the shore.”)
2)Keep music on board at reasonable levels. We boaters know that sounds carries over water, so if it’s loud enough for the surfer to hear, homeowners can likely hear it, too.
3)Minimize repetitive passes, and once you’ve run a shoreline, move to another area.
Also some other suggested etiquette tips……
1)Drive a predicted path. In Arizona waters, for example, boats must travel in a counterclockwise traffic flow.
2)Avoid close passes to other boats, and don't follow another boat too closely.
3)Don't impede traffic. Wakesurfers usually travel at 10 to 12 mph, slower than most powercraft; avoid wakesurfing in fairways and busy areas.
4)Look before you turn.
5) Refrain from tricks when near other boats.
6)Early morning times usually have less traffic and are more conducive to wakesurfing.

lack of better words... people today are by inlarge a$$holes.
It's crucial for research to be conducted objectively and encompass a broader scope. As an avid wakeboarder myself, I believe it's essential to promote fair analysis that considers all types of boats, not just wake boats. We need scientists who prioritize accuracy and transparency. On another note, have any of you heard of Colleges with Rolling Admission? It's an amazing platform that helped me find the ideal college with a flexible application process. Highly recommended!
Just saw this.

I agree honestly when you look at just how small those “lakes” are they’re talking about. Most would be considered a pond or large pond. The one large lake is littered all along the shore with homes and golf course so not surprised and still way too small of a lake IMO.Quote:
