Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted April 16, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted April 16, 2019 I really try hard to support all forms of recreation, but this is one is tough because it's so damaging and so easy to confuse with skiing. Feels like we're being set up to get banned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dvskier Posted April 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 16, 2019 But it's so much fun! Drink beer and listen to rasta music at 130db while wrecking your local lakes shoreline and causing chaos. Plus no skill required. What could be more fun for you and your rowdy crew of 20 or so like minded folks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ALPJr Posted April 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 16, 2019 Be on the lookout for a new definition and new boundaries of no wake zones at a lake near you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted April 16, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted April 16, 2019 What you guys are missing is that IWWFED is now trying to promote wake surf competition of their own. As with wakeboard there's already a successful organization with membership with World Championships and pro events.

Baller klindy Posted April 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 16, 2019 USAWSWS has adopted the definition/term "towed water sports" a while back. While a lot of recreational activity can be lumped into that, I don't see wake surfing in the same category. I agree with @Than_Bogan that this seems ripe for no-wake zone rules, etc. Maybe the primary issue is guilt by association since all the major 3-event boat companies make wake surfing boats or accessories, That said, except that it's cool to be trendy, I have no idea why IWWF would roll this into the fold.

Baller Chef23 Posted April 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 16, 2019 I hope that boat never finds it way to my lake. That wake destroy my dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted April 16, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted April 16, 2019 Does it really qualify as towed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller klindy Posted April 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 16, 2019 @Jody_Seal it does not in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted April 16, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted April 16, 2019 I am not really against wake surf. I am against being under an organization that is mostly made up of 3 event skiers but promotes other sports.

Baller sheskis7 Posted April 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 16, 2019 Another problem is some of the boat dealers are promoting it as a boat that you can slalom behind (anything to sell a boat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ALPJr Posted April 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 16, 2019 Nothing against the sport. Cool for inlanders. Just think there needs to be some solid thought put into where it can be done. Offshore, big bays and big lakes, far enough away from damage and disruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ALPJr Posted April 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 16, 2019 ... or private lakes where none cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
