exactly who are "the sort of people" who caused the ban? The ones I have seen have expensive, powerful boats and run them up the middle of the river. Sure, there may be a speed danger but the erosion argument does not apply to them. Their waves are mostly dissipated by the time they reach shore. The ban fails in its essential purpose as long as there are no limits to keep minimum distances away from piers. A wakeboard boat with full ballast can wreak more havoc to shorelines and seawalls than most any other type of boat currently in use on the lake, cruisers included.
