This appears to be a very touchy subject. I share the concerns that are being expressed about the waves thst are generated from wakeboarders. I understand that the lake is for everyone to enjoy, but there are some activitiese that can become overbearing. I feel that those of us that have made an investment in a lake home deserve a little respect from others who use the lake. The constant pounding of waves from daylight to dark easily become a bit overbearing and does create a significant force of water on anything in their path. Over time the waves do take their toll. I believe that Lake Martin is large enough for those that want to wakeboard can find less populated areas of the lake for their activity and I believe that many actually do. However, it seems that many choose the long sloughs with lots of homes as if we are spectators who enjoy their presence. I have actually had wakeboarders come close enough to my dock to cut my fishing line. Don't get me wrong, while the lake is open to everyone, I think that too many come to the lake for a day or for a weekend, and don't stop to think that for many of us this is our home. In a way I look at wakeboarders the same as I would at drivers who would speed in front of my house if I lived in a residential area in the city. I know that many of you will say that I knew what to expect when I built my lake home on a long slough, but a little more concern for those of us who find ourselves in this situation will be greatly appreciated. One further comment, waverunners create similar waves, but just on a smaller scale.
