Wow- crazy story! I feel bad for your buddy! Reminds me of a commercial a local lawyer runs- “If you get pulled over by the police don’t say anything to the officer.. it will be used against you.”
I wonder if the tickets were to appease the locals who complained about the surfing? (If they really did complain).
Not to turn this into a debate- But I have a few friends with lake homes in WI and can tell you they don’t like people wake surfing on their lakes. I mentioned to my one buddy I was going to stop over with our Max and take them surfing..he was like NO WAY not on our lake (they are on a chain of lakes)-He claims wakesurfers had their lake all turned up and cloudy and others claim it was eroding the shoreline. Wakesurfers have a worse reputation than jet skiers..
I expect more resistance to surfing in the future...lake laws or rules will be created ..Last edited by brad460; 07-06-2021 at 07:13 PM.

hate to say it but I see one glaring issue with the story IF it's true.
NEVER hand the keys to anyone that has been drinking. IF it's true and he blew a .10, that's legally done and I know everyone is different but the story COULD have ended with your truck/trailer in the lake, or worse yet, someone else at the ramp and hit. I'd park and go get the truck myself.

Also, I almost sunk my boat on the first trip out this year and cost myself around $1500.
Lid to raw water impeller came off while I was surfing.
Exhaust manifolds overheated.
Melted the plastic 3.5" thru hulls (but I couldn't see because they were underwater).
Water was coming in faster than I could pump it out. I was also surf ballasted.
I had to choose between letting my boat sink vs making a panic run to the dock (I was within sight of it).
I made it to the dock, but broke the internals of my water jacketed exhaust manifold that is an indmar only part.
I'm now straight piped with muffler delete (tons of engine bay room achieved).
I have SS pipe sleeving the inside of my 3.5 thru hulls that I had to cut off the melted bits and repurpose (because they're not available anymore and anything SS was 4").
New manifold was expensive!!! But easy to install.
I did the 340 CAT ETX cooling system reroute while I was at it.

I had a friend riding his two children (6 & on our jetski this weekend while his wife, my family and other friends were surfing. He was NOT doing anything crazy. Just cruising along slowly watching us surf. All of a sudden the DNR come flying across the lake and stops him. They give him a ticket for operating within 100 ft of another vessel. Really surprised me they didn't give him a warning. And to be honest, he was not driving crazy, nor in my opinion ever got within probably 50 ft of us for kids to say hey to mom, and that was only when we were idling around to pick up a surfer when they dropped. Two officers on the boat, and he was talking fishing/hunting with one of them while the other took his information. He told them his wife/kids mom was on our boat and thought at most a verbal warning as they realized he was not drinking or jumping wake. When the other officer handed him a citation, the officer he was talking to said "wow" quietly under his breath.

To reply to everyone,
my theoretical friend was completely coherent and I trusted to back the truck in however if he would have got in the truck and something would have happened the ticket could have been life altering so definitely rethinking that whole process..
And it was well past “sunset” of like 8:30pm unfortunately we knew we were in the wrong night surfing however thought that would be the end of it.
And we were on a NC lake. So one hour past sunset is the law and it does say you cannot be under the influence and do any water sports
Everyone does hate the wake surfing world and I do understand why however the only people out were the bass fisherman and when I saw them they were staging up and I idled through them nicely talking to a few so I think the “reports” were bs.. then again only red boat on the lake haha
But has anyone else ever received a ticket for both the driver and rider for after hours?
I’m not going to lie if it is just 1 $50 dollar pay it ticket I would just consider that the cost of renting the lake after hours hahaha
However the cop did threaten me with “reckless endangerment” and a few related others I’m sure they would tack on if caught againJosh
