I hate to see new legislation to address a problem of lack of common sense and courtesy.  You are indeed correct that I do not and will not wakesurf around homes and docks.  Likewise when I'm out in my 26' Chris Craft I make sure I am on plane or going slow so I don't send out big waves. It's really the same problem.

I have long maintained that if you live on a lake you need to plan and design your dock system for ingoramouses.  Whether it's a wakeboard boat or a larger boat tooling along at 2,000 rpm leaving a 4 foot wake behind it you need to hope for the best and plan for the worst.  But I recognize not everyone has done this and that I'm responsible for damage so I stay away from homes.  Wakeboard boats tooling along with a surfer behind close to she where docks are situated are irresponsible idiots and if they do damage I hope it gets videotaped and they have to pay for their actions.
