I am a die hard wakeboarder who personally has little to no problem with wakesurfers. I personally find wakesurfing as interesting as staring at the back of an airplane seat... but at least surfers seem to, for the most part, understand boat and water etiquette. That or they dont like getting out of bed early which works for me as well
The ones I hate are the TUBERS... these knuckleheads know no limits with regards to safety, selfishness or plain human decency
What would you do if...
1) You are out wakeboarding by 7:30 AM (because U LUV the butta
) and are sharing a small lake with a slamom skier by staying at opposite ends... when 3 numbskulls in a Bayliner decide to tube up the entire lake?
or
2) You are riding the one and only smooth line when a runabout shows up with tube and two 8 year olds in tow and start tubing up your line... forcing you to leave because your not in the mood to kill 8 year olds with your boat?
or
3) You drive 7 hours (boat in tow) thru the mountains, get the boat in the water, start boarding and one of the relatives starts following you around the lake in a runabout (tube and lazy kids in tow)?
We have some good times on the water... but almost all of the bad times involve a cheap ass runabout, at least 1 fat & very stupid adult, a tube and a couple of lazy kids... why is that? As they say... common sense dissolves in water!
I know I pulled out the stops on this post... and I know someone is going to chime in about me being some sort of snob... but I'm glad I got that off my chest... I feel much better now
