Waverunners, per se, are not taboo. But, the operator is the problem.
Most do not consider as "rude", repeatedly flying by close to a dock, even with swimmers or fishing activity clearly obvious. Or constantly performing acrobatics in a narrow cove close by numerous docks.
As a JetSki enthusiast, could these same things not be performed further out in the lake?? It almost seems that many are actually "performing" for all the folks watching and cursing them.
Unfortunately, boaters are guilty also. We have "Gray Hairs" like me cruising through our cove at a speed that throws the biggest wake possible for that boat. Completely oblivious to the wake left behind.
It ain't the craft. It is the person.
