Has anyone else had a similar experience? Why would anyone do this on purpose? It makes me think twice about taking my young nephew and nieces out tubing if someone is out there deliberately jeopardizing tubers safety.

This doesn't surprise me at all as the idiots were out in full force this past weekend on the lake. I have never seen or experienced the amount of idiotic moves by boaters than what I have over the weekend. Some of the moves occurred right in front of a Marine Patrol boat and they did nothing. 150' rule infractions are a joke! How about 20' infractions at wide open throttle right next to a sailboat! I witnessed at least a dozen serious 150' rule violations...when I say serious I'm talking 50' or less!! I gave up getting mad and simply continued on with my rule of ALWAYS being the give way vessel no matter what!
Whew...That felt good!
