A noticeable amount of boaters create damaging wakes close to docks and shorelines.It never seems to be enforced so we need to better educate boaters on reducing damaging wakes that actually are generated by their vessel.Many time it is not speed causing the problem but poor understanding of how to put the boat on a level plane.
Surf and wake board boats do create large wakes, but they deserve the water just like everyone. They are usually more experienced boaters than people pulling tubes / towables. We just need to find a way to re-enforce the distance ALL boats need to be from docks. But it needs to be reasonable.
