OK i'll weigh in on this only because it's an issue that's been around forever and will only get worse as more & more use the water.

There will always be stupid boaters, period. It's just something you gotta live with and watch for. Not saying she wasn't wrong, just watch it. Carry an air horn and blast 'em if you thing they're too close.

Everyone has to share the water. No one group has rights to any part of it. You said "a cove normally reserved for wakeboarders". No such thing. I hear this all the time but from wakeboarders more than any group and all it does is reinforce the thought of wakeboarders as snobs. I see this all the time to the point of some wakeboarders causing trouble on the water. What i don't see is the skiers, surfers, fishermen or tubers doing this. Now i'm sure it's happened but nowhere near the instances of wakeboarders. All these other sports were around way before wakeboarding so why the 'tude? It's just something you have to live with, respectfully i might add.

Jetskiers will also always be a problem as any idiot can buy or rent one without any education on them. I know it sucks but until the laws change then unsafe, inconsiderate & stupid people will be on them.

Some people will always powerturn as well. Why? mostly because they're not wakeboarders and just don't understand the importance of keeping the water calm. But then again it comes back to sharing the water. Hell my brother-in-law does it and no matter how many times i try and educate him he still does it. He thinks it's fun. I only do it if traffic is near enough that there might be a conflict, but even then it's not a full blown powerturn.

I try and give as much respect as possible when on the water. I'm always watching for the idiots as well. I've been known to nicely educate a few people when given the chance to help them better understand the consequences of their actions. I used to get upset but all that did was ruin my day, it's not worth it. I know it's frustrating, maybe try and get your sets in early or late if needed then spend the rest of the day having fun. Life is way to short to stress out.

My two cents ...
