On May 15th county supervisor Piepo recommended Ordinance no. 2007-22 banning waterskiing (and wakeboarding) on the Delta between Orwoods and Old River. It seems Piepo's husband has an Offshore boat and the Piepo's want this waterway to themselves. If this passes it paves the way to move the "NO-Ski" zone as they please into our favorite riding channels.
Ironically they are using safety as the basis for this ban. Nearly every injury accident I have seen or heard of in the past five years involved one of these Offshore HotBoats, not a waterskier or wakeboarder.
I sent a letter to the editors of the local newspapers outing Piepo and recommend everybody here do the same.
