We were surfing while my buddy hung out in his boat and he grabbed this somewhat atypical photo angle.

I love chase boat shots of surfing. It really allows you to get a feel of whats going on back there.

PS - nice clean wake i like that...

I'm betting not to much. I'd expect some type of legislation before we get to that point.

sweet wake BTW

Yeah, Sean is right. IMO we are probably at the effective maximum height before issues regarding property damage arise. I know that I have read about complaints where folks have residences along the water.

Also, after a certain minimum, size doesn't compensate for a lack of skill. :-)

But a bigger wake sure can be more fun, and more of a challenge for some...

Justsomeguy? and now ubertuber? You're hard to keep track of, my good man. Certainly "fun" is always relative as is a "challenge". No argument. I think the single best small wave surfer in existence is Rob Machado, the way that he described getting that way was riding on days others stayed home, because the surf was flat. IMO, many folks build a large wake rather than working on their skill set, first. Strictly MO, with a great foundation in your skills, the size of the wake is secondary both in having fun and being challenged.
