Picking up surfers and riders the right way

[GMLIII]

The problem with calling out surfers is, there's always someone else to call you out. The skiers hate the surfers. The fishermen hate the skiers. The paddle boarders hate the fishermen. The property owners hate everyone who doesn't own property. I'm not Rodney King but can't we all just get along. Be as courteous as you can. If there is traffic out there that gets in your way somehow just remember you don't own the lake. They want to have fun too. If it gets too bad drop anchor and pour a cocktail.

This thread should conclude on your post. I love it.

I disagree. We gotta keep this thread going until ice off...

No we can't all be friends. I dislike anyone on the lake when I am out there. I would always prefer no one was out.

And in order to get over all the jabroni's on the lake I have to drink heavily, which I do sitting on the deck, not on the boat.

P.S. Even though I don't like you surfers. I will be your friend when you are drinking with me.

I love to surf ,wake board and ski, I am for some regulations as everyday in the summer we get people surfing 30 ft from our dock.One guy threw a massive roller and It busted my friends boat loose and caused it to beach on the shore. I chased the guy down an he didn't care. I am all for no wake 100 ft from the shore. It is not just wake boats either, bow high run aboats come even closer on the evening "snoop cruise" . Some common sense need to prevail too.

I find that the new generation surf machine owner is now pretty uneducated when it comes to the water.

I don't want ANYONE to take me wrong Great start of a thread......very good for everybody to see and hear others opinions.......I just laughed and chuckled......because our giant bathtub that we ski,surf etc in.....has been a constant wave for years.....we have all just excepted its the way it is......and its better to be on a lake with waves...then no lake at all. Keep the thread going....I really like all the thoughts and opinions!

Yes, yes it is.

Some day I will move closer to a better lake. But right now I am stuck working in Chicago till I can find another job that can afford this addiction.
