We too have a Wakeboard boat. We do try to be cognizant of property as we have people zooming within 15 feet of our dock making massive waves with their Pontoons and Cruisers. All boats can make large wake depending on the speed and planing hulls. It is certainly irritating when there is the whole lake and folks feel like they need to buzz your dock --   but its reality. 

Admittedly when the bags are full for weight and wake --the waves can be much bigger than anything a normal boat can produce--  and we do it in a part of the lake where there are no houses or we are very far from docks. But you do need calmer water to wakeboard and you can find sloughs or parts of the lake that are uninhabited to do it. The problem is ---as Malibu says-- most people are generally self centered and don't think about other boaters or property owners. If it wasn't a wake boarder it would be a skiier or a bass boat or a Cobalt cruiser.  

No one should be cruising a slough to wakeboard , ski, tube, sight see or other wise if they are creating a large wake. Nor should boaters buzz docks.  I have also noticed "no wake" doesnt mean much to most people.  At Marinas where there is a no wake (Anchor Bay for instance) people are making a wake -- going at a fair clip rather than no wake. Those boat owners there must get sick of it.  At Chimney Rock people zoom in and out of boats like they have ZERO sense. We come from Florida where there is no wake in much of the St Johns at certain times of the year (manatees) No wake means barely moving.... and you will get ticketed there. Its excruciating in the winter months on the river and even into early spring but there is a good reason for it. It really is a ME world .. and thats' really the problem. Sad and unlikely to change.
