Welp, looks like the shoreline will be bigger after Aug. 28.  Tie down them docks.

Last weekend a girl (26) that my daughters know, was a passenger in a wake boat, going around in circles, that crossed it's own wake, and broke her back.  

The majority of people I see driving those things appear to have no prior boating experience at all.   Watching them launch/load/and dock their boats is not even funny...... it's scary.  

Having a "wake boat party" (huge get together) where they are going to be showing off in mass..... is just asking for it.

I see no Regatta permit for this event.  

This permit application must be properly completed in order for the Missouri State Highway Patrol to consider approval of a marine event (tournament, parade, race, exhibition, etc.) on navigable waters of the State of Missouri as required by Section 306.130 RSMo

I’m glad it’s not in the lower end.   For me at least.   A guy in my condo building owns State a Mind Watersports I think.     Or at least his truck and boat are both wrapped with that company logo.  There sure are a lot of them now.  I don’t like them but I get it.   Too bad they can’t enjoy their hobby without ruining everyone else’s.

I mean, you just can’t teach these things.

If they are all tied together, at least they won't be running up and down the lake annoying everyone.

Do you think we could hire someone to create a water spout?

Neighbor on the lake just bought one.......has maybe 8 hrs of experience running a smaller inboard. Jumped head first into a wake board boat.

Absolutely, I totally get it.   If I was 25 years old I would be into it in a big way.   

If they just headed down the lake it wouldn't be a big deal..... but a single wake boat will choose an area and go 'round & 'round turning an entire 2 mile stretch of water into a giant washing machine.
