Mother Nature does the damage with wind, rain, and run-off from poorly designed housing developments, natural erosion, and poor rip-rap. I have a waterfront home on a Virginia lake, and I have yet to see any damage done to my property from wakeboard boats. I too am a fisherman, and I don't mind when a bunch of people are having fun out on the lake. They're enjoying their-selves and getting exercise. If wakeboard and surf boats are bothering you, then you should find another hobby. These people are generating revenue, increasing the population around your lake, and making your property values go up. If you impose rules on your lake that discourage any part of boating and water-sports you will see your property values decrease, so get over your complaining and move on. As for "No Wake Jake", he'll get his. Hopefully by vigilante justice, and not local law enforcement.

You are legally responsible for any damage your wake creates. It's been that way long before wake boats were ever created.

When I started water sports the less wake the better, now its the more wake the better. I can deal with that, just kids having fun. I try to find a small narrow cove to go and hang out with friends, the wakes hope they stay out in the main body, most do.

The boats today take a smaller boat and add weight to make more wake, I thought about wonder how it would be to take a 40 foot cruiser and have it plow water, that might be some fun for more then one at a time surfers.

On another note: was taking a trip (23 foot runabout) from Louisville to Picwick and on a narrow area and came upon a 50 something Jefferson and started plowing water. Putting out a huge wake, so we slowed down, and rode gently over the wake. Looked back and noticed the boat slowed down to very little wake. Called on the radio "thanks for the after thought" the relay was "I thought it was a fore thought".

I’ve enjoyed wake surfing a few times. I’ve also been annoyed by plowing speed boaters at the lake.

I’d say I dislike like the wake more than surfing is important to me.

Lots of very secluded places to boat in the Midwest if you put in minor effort. Illinois River, Mississippi River, Kentucky lake, table rock lake, Mark Twain lake etc etc. Seems silly to do it in densely developed areas.
