I feel so honored to have inspired such a long thread.  

It's safe to say that wake boats will be around for a while.  There has definitely been a change on the lake in the past 5 years.  It is now mostly wake boats and pontoons.  The solution would be to ban idiots but that is obviously not going to happen.  I am a wake boat owner and guess what, I had to install whips on our dock to protect our wake boat from PWCs and pontoons.  How is that for irony?  I was forced to make a change to accommodate others irresponsibility.  

The problem is not wake boats.  As someone stated above it is the operators of these boats.  Also as stated above a ban will not solve anything.  The idea of banning wake creating devices is insane.  How are you going to enforce that?  The marine police can't even enforce DUI laws.  

It is unfortunate times we live in.  You are forced to change things in your own life because of others irresponsibility.  

BTW, wake surfing is a blast if you have never tried it.  I could do it all day if my wife would pull me all day.  Can't wait to try out my new board tomorrow.  In a remote area of course!!!!!
