So we are fighting the Oregon State Marine Board that recently enacted rules to ban Wake Enhancing Devices on a 17 mile stretch of a PUBLIC RIVER (Willamette River). This is some of the best riding water in the area and country. Many videos and shoots in national wakeboard magazines have been filmed in this area. It all comes down to a select few rich people got the ear of the governor and want their own private backyards on the river. There have been public hearings that 10 to 1 people have opposed this and they still did it. If you have a similar story let us know or any ideas to help repeal it. This will eventually effect everyone as this gives them the ability to set precedent and start using this around the country....
If you have any interest in paying attention to this topic or helping us out here is a link to our local forum that goes over it.... lots of reading, but you might start paying attention...
