Baller gregy Posted February 27, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 27, 2013 Video thanks to USA Water ski. This was in my email today and all I could see is the beautiful glass water in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Brady Posted February 27, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 27, 2013 I have to admit, I love surfing after a day of skiing. My body is spent and my arms are gone, and this is a very relaxing way to end the day. I promise @gregy, give it 5 minutes and the water will be glass again brudda!!

Baller Bulldog Posted February 27, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 27, 2013 That should only be done when the lake is not smooth. You can surf in any water conditions. "Do Better..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mellig Posted February 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 28, 2013 Even worse, last summer noticing a sharp increase in guys out at 5 - 6 AM wakesurfing and to add insult, they are not segmenting themselves to a section of the lake, but going straight down the middle and ruining everyone's water... I enjoy surfing as well (usually with beer in hand), but they receive a one finger wave everytime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller WBLskier Posted February 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 28, 2013 My Australian cousin who surfs real waves tried it when he was visiting here and said "wow that was boring." It's fun on a Saturday afternoon, but most people I know who do it sucked at waterskiing, wake boarding, wake skating or barefooting and wanted something easier. I can't stand when you're just getting to run a pass and you see the listing mammoth boats plowing down the lake with the everyone in the boat, including the driver looking backwards.

Baller Steven_Haines Posted February 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 28, 2013 @Rok, I'm not doubting your comment about jet skiers but we have a few a__hole wake boarders @Canyon Lake that like to push the slalomers buttons! I know we could all get along and maybe be friends if these select few didn't try so hard to get under our skin! The funny thing is that the bad ones are the sponsored self proclaimed "Pros" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chuck_Dickey Posted February 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 28, 2013 Not allowed on our lake at Cheyenne! No large wake board boats or sit down jet skis either. Only tournament boats. We do allow stand-up jet skis, but their wake is so small it doesn't hurt with erosion and they can't ski during normal rotation cause it takes too long for rollers to dissipate that are going down the length of the lake. I'm sure it's fun for them but they just don't understand that it's not compatible with what we do. Surfing belongs in the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gregy Posted February 28, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted February 28, 2013 There was some talk in our area of banning the wave surfing boats on one of the lakes due to damage they were causing to docks. Of course there was a public meeting and a lot of wake boarders and surfers showed up and claimed they did no damage. All the local ski boat dealers supported the boarders and did there best to get the word out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted February 28, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 28, 2013 That is a cool video and looks fun but not for a man made ski lake and why the hell is USAWS sending that out.

Baller A_B Posted February 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 28, 2013 Back in my days on the river, it was the invasion of the kneeboarders at 6:00am.... they just had to get the glass water for the 180's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrB Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 @Horton Not good on a public lake with course at 6am. It takes 20 min. to clear those monster wakes. Hate those boats but they do have great speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markchilcutt Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Those boats wakes will swamp a ski boat!!!! if your not on your game as a driver when that monster wave comes rolling toward you and your family bad things can happen like knocking your teeth out if your not careful. Had my Response anchored bow out at Lake Powell a few yrs ago and some giant MC came by surfing, music blaring totally clueless and sent a wave of water into my boat swamping it while i stood on the shore helplessly watching!! Needless to say i had a nice talk with the idiot and he didnt roll through again!! We ski on a public lake and those boats wakes really screw the water up. To each his own and all the more reason to motivate me to buy into a private site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jcamp Posted February 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 28, 2013 My fear is that if these dock-wrecking, shore-eroding boats keep getting more and more popular, regulatory bodies will react by just banning all activities above a certain speed limit. Skiers will get lumped into this category and we'll all suffer as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MattP Posted February 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 28, 2013 and why people think WE are "killing skiing" and are "elitists" I just blame the wakeboarders, jetskiers, and fisherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Marco Posted February 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 28, 2013 If wanting to ski the course without rollers is elitist, then I'll say without hesitation that I am guilty as charged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
