Perhaps the clearest, most compelling pictorial display and description to date of the basis for some of the most important adverse impacts of wake boats.
I own a wake boat, it throws a huge wave, super fun to go surfing. You have to do it responsibly, destroying a narrow river or impacting other users ability to enjoy the resource isn’t a good way to guarantee continued access for these type of boats. Love the effort you put into the channel.
Having lived on the river for 20 years, the changes that happened once wake boats arrived was devastating to the shore line, with 90 year old trees where eagles nested falling within two years of immense shore erosion. I was no longer able to SUP after 9:00 AM or I was tossed off my board once the wake boats started running. For our area, wake boats are too big for the Willamette, they need to be used on larger bodies of water such as the Columbia River.
I fish on an 18000 acre lake in Missouri. They are a nuisance here too. Waves are big enough the water has been on my deck from the wave. They need to go !
At the very least the boaters can pay for the shoreline erosion control and repair. And a percentage can go to the lake property owners who have docks that have sensible boats that aren't damaging to the neighbors properties and shoreline.
What happened to guys actually wake boarding doing bad ass tricks. Must take a lot of skill. Only thing I see now is people just basically standing there surfing. Boring.
Dudes trying to find anything he can to say wake boats are just the worst thing out there. He just wants to have the lake to himself so he can kayak all day🤣 that’s the really problem. People bitching cause they can’t go kayak in the middle of a lake
@@AboveRioTzZ Nope. Not it at all. Yes, he kayaks. And he has seen the damage wake boats are causing. He’s not wrong on either aspect. I’ve never in my life met a more selfish, unaccountable, completely non-self-aware demographic than wake boat owners. I’m not sure if it’s something that happens after the purchase or if it’s what draws them to the purchase. But it’s a fact.
You can make light of the damage Wake Boats are causing. Bottom line is we will eventually get them outlawed. I boat Dale Hollow Lake Tennessee and have had my 21 foot Bow Rider almost turnover because of Wake Boats. What these owners don’t realize is the wake from a pontoon bass boat bow rider etc is relatively small and pretty much is gone by the time it hits shoreline or other boats. But let’s say multiple Wake Boats travel through an area going opposite directions now you have caused a whirlpool that erodes shoreline and can easily flip small boats that have just as much right to be on the water.
@@jeffmurphy9987 not making light of it. but what exactly would you ban? wakesurfing in general? wakes over a certain size (how could it be enforced)? boats over a certain size? certain weight? Limit the number of boats allowed on the body of water at a time? And also, maybe I missed this info but have you had a real environmental impact study done? Have any legit studies been done on this anywhere? Banning something thousands of families love to do together and do safely just because a few people are annoyed isn’t how this works.
It doesn’t matter. Water is incredibly elastic. Which is a physics term referring to the ratio of returned energy vs absorbed energy. These waves will travel for miles.
Like personal water craft the only people that like them are the people that are using them at the time. Everyone on shore or fishing hate them even the person that just got done using it!
This is a joke. Let's be honest, it's not about protecting the lake from erosion or the environment. What's disgusting is that they're saying the wake boat owners are the rich a$$holes, when the reality of this legislation is that the homeowners are upset that their older docks and boat houses require what they deem as premature maintenance due to larger waves than the on-the-water structures were designed to withstand. The people with million-dollar properties are upset that they have to spend a few thousand to maintain their docks and boathouses, and like all people who own property on a body of water, they feel entitled to dictate how the water is used.
It isn't just wake boats. Cabin cruisers yachts and obnoxiously loud go fast boats have no business on lakes. Especially as lakes become more popular. You can't go blasting up and down the street in you're open header Hot rod either. It literally ruins it for everybody who's trying to enjoy themselves. However if you don't agree. It's akin to smoking in public. I guess it's all about you. Don't have any consideration for anybody else...
Your only showing videos of rivers most wakeboat owners go in bigger lakes where they are far away from shore. Also people with a brain try to stay away from kayakers and paddle boarders.
Why should property owners need to maintain damage from unnatural influences? A wave is just like a bullet. You are responsible for it, wherever it may travel, and liable for any damage it may cause. Enjoy your time ruining the water for everybody else. It is going to be short lived.

Not only do they hurt the lake. They ruin for everyone else trying to use the lake with their ridiculous size waves.

Oh please. Let’s see this. You kayakers just want it all to your self
Honestly, get up an go out earlier. Wake boats shouldn’t be prohibited from the lake cause you wanna do your hobby.
@@AboveRioTzZ did you read that part on how the shoreline's getting fucked up?

!
It will be nice when this stupid wake boat fad is over
And I'm waiting for the snowboarding fad to end.
I have a feeling we're both going to be disappointed. 😂

does it cause any actual quantifiable harm to the environment besides your butthurtedness? Nope.

anyone can surf that's the appeal.
Your argument is that waves hurt fish? LOL
Yes. And damage shorelines. And socks. And boats. And injure people. And… And…. And…..

The opening shot is not following the wake surf recommendation it says to have the non surf side towards the docks
It doesn’t matter. Water is incredibly elastic. Which is a physics term referring to the ratio of returned energy vs absorbed energy. These waves will travel for miles.
If you want to surf, go to the ocean. You are messing up other boats and sea walls.
100 percent correct. The people that own these boats should try fishing in my boat hen the go by, They will understand how rude they are!
Like personal water craft the only people that like them are the people that are using them at the time. Everyone on shore or fishing hate them even the person that just got done using it!
I can put up with PWCs. The wake boats need to go. They ruin for everyone else.

Don't have any consideration for anybody else...
Get a life nobody cares! We’ll continue to wake surf..
Instant d-bag/ just add wake boat
Your only showing videos of rivers most wakeboat owners go in bigger lakes where they are far away from shore. Also people with a brain try to stay away from kayakers and paddle boarders.
Unfortunately most wake board boaters don’t have a brain and compete with how close they can get to shore and others.
Quit whining. The biggest wakes I have encountered were from jet boat tour and other large boats
☝️Which are an infinitesimal fraction of the number of wake boats.
fake news
Except he has proof, you said gobbly gook so make a point or fuck off 😂.
Sounds like property owner need to maintain his river front property.

Ban them ASAP
