Dude…. Do you even realize your living on property covered in concrete and fenced in after 1492?!… how far do you want to push the “shore line” and erosion? Because it could easily be said your personal property development violated others rights of people that lived more symbiotically with the the land you currently reside without pouring concrete foundations or cutting down trees to make framing in the name of progress. If you and your assentors weren’t here to bitch about it, means you were never here in the 1st place, and good riddance. But if you live in a brick and mortar house and drive a gas/diesel vehicle on concrete roads… you too are the cause off erosion. “Let he that has caused no sin cast the 1st stone”.

It will be nice when this stupid wake boat fad is over

Go cry

Wake boaters are the Harley Davidsons riders of the water - obnoxious tatted trash.

I've personally witnessed more lakeshore damage from single storms than mutliple seasons of "wakeboat waves". This is silly EPA type nonsense, from the same people who think global warming is real. 🙄

I am 100% behind wakesurfing. Love it. It does seem to reason that as this form of boating has grown exponentially that it could be time to re-visit no wake zones. Original strategies around NWZ I dont think contemplated the sheer volume of folks driving these boats. Maybe increase the distance to 250? As long as people try to argue for a ban- they will get nowhere. You cant win against the fastest growing segment of the boating industry. But maybe small adjustments could be made to give a little more protection to docks and personal property. I know this country refuses to even discuss middle ground these days but it sure would be nice if we could at least try.

This video might as well be titled “I suck at watersports, and a wakesurfer stole my girlfriend.”….. the sequel will be about how lil 🍆 are more environmentally sustainable. Good luck, Mr. Karen.

You complain like a women

Facts matter. Wakes Kill Lakes, rivers too.

Gonna blow your mind but wake board boats have been around sense the 80s

I hate these motor boats . They are nearly always drunk and don't give a damn about other water users .

Great video! Great voiceover!

These wakes are a lot like second-hand smoke. It affects people who did not ask for the wakes or the smoke from someone else. It is fine for anyone to do what they want unless it negatively affects someone else.

Boohoo

Wake board boats are a huge problem for all other river users. Shoreline and properties. They need to be banned from the Willamette river and find larger areas that can dissipate those large waves.

Kayakers should be required to register thier lil boats yearly as well. Love the old man with mansions on river complaining about having to maintain his water front property. And whining about wakes as he paddles the smallest plastic tub he can right up the middle of the river.

Also kayakers should be required to purchase a sticker just like every other boat be a great revenue to build new docks for kyakers. Maybe make a video on how to launch a kayak with out taking up the whole boat ramp. Maybe show how you can drag ur lil boat on dock tie off. Just love trying to launch but have 1 or 2 plastic tubes sitting out in middle of the boat ramp while they go park the Subaru

Garbage. Just because you want to paddle ur plastic tube up a river in the middle of the river doesn’t give you the right to complain or get mean boats out of the whole river. Take ur plastic boat to a lake that’s non motorized. Barges that’s and ships create the biggest wakes you do t cry about that. We get 3 months to boat in sun.

Every Willamette Operator should be required to watch this video!

Wake boats are incredibly fun to be behind though, even just wakeboarding is always a good time on it, our old boat never came anywhere near it, and couldn’t even surf.

SS Narcissist. Wake boats = Karen boats. No respect for the waterway or the people who live there. Those waves look like ocean chop hitting the shore. Lake shores are very fragile. Find a Corp Of Engineers lake where the entire shore is riprapped.

If you want to surf, go to the ocean. You are messing up other boats and sea walls.

They (wave / wake boats) are out of control on Lake Anna, Va. Why not let them have the lower 25% of the lake where they have adequate width and depth (remove damaging backwash)? If the stayed on the lower %25 they would have the dam and it's huge riprap on one side, with enormous lake widths on either side with plenty of room for dissipation. But the 200' rule is fantasy. I can site on my dock and observe that easily. My neighbor is staring down $100K in shoreline damage that started just 5 years ago when the newer large boats showed up. He has lived here 45 years with no issues until recently.

does it cause any actual quantifiable harm to the environment besides your butthurtedness? Nope.

Please give us more info

This guy has obviously never tried to wakesurf😂 it’s fun as crap guys they make the same size waves as a thunderstorm

This guy has obviously never tried to wakesurf😂 it’s fun as crap guys

Wakes Kill Lakes, Rivers too.

It's all about money. Shouldn't have even been able to make them.

“Get off my lawn kid!” You sound like a grumpy old man. Go complain about people watering their lawns or not picking up after their dogs. Boat waves in such a major waterway are NOT a big deal.

Bass boats with mercury 300s destroy the lake bank in my town just as much as a wake/ ski biat so..... Just tell everyone to not boat.....

Almost all those boats are below 5500 pounds. Not all those boats have a wedge just the Malibu products.

This is an incredible faulty "study". Didn't study regular boating or speed boating....? And the sale of Pavati Boat, is not the reason an Entire Indusrty is "Lying" Very Biased narration, not even qualified to be called a report. The boating entertainment has been happening for decades. This same argument was happening when wake boarding from a tower started. It's change... That's what people don't like.

hes not even on willamette lake goofy ass shut up

bro just wants clout 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

bros in yappington city 💀💀💀💀💀

stop hating and go out side and get a fucking life you idiot

Wakes Kill Lakes

SHUT UP I DONT CARE WAKE BOATS DO NOTHING BITCH

get in a elder home your way to old

clout chaser

and you just want views

we do not care i dont care wake boats are cool you are a hater get off boy

If you own a wake boat, you’re gay

What happened to guys actually wake boarding doing bad ass tricks. Must take a lot of skill. Only thing I see now is people just basically standing there surfing. Boring.

These kids should get off the water and loot Walgreens like normal Oregon teens!

Thank you for the Buyer’s Guide! The G23 with 2850# ballast sounds best!

Fuck Wake boats. For real. One of those things sunk my little fishing boat a month and a half ago and injured my friend. They didn't even stop and render help.
