Lake Winni Wake fest location scouting

Maybe it could be a trifecta and also include the sea planes. AQUA FEST. The reality is that Winni is a big lake. If you don’t like big wakes, move to a smaller lake. If you don’t like noise move further north. Urban sprawl. It happens.

On a Lake this big I’d recommend only having a boat over 20ft. It’s a large lake and it’s where the large boats belong. 30ft cuddy cabin boats, 40 ft yachts, 23 foot wake/surf boats, the mount Washington.

In reality (to the trolls) if you are that concerned you should have a lift style dock. It gets your boat up above of the water.

I have a better idea. Maybe you could look farther north, and west. In fact, I'll give you five recommendations:

1) Superior
2) Ontario
3) Michigan
4) Erie
5) Huron

Do you have any friends or relatives that enjoy wakeboarding, Water skiing, or water sports in general of the towing kind? I am a family man and my family is athletic and we love watersports.

OK - this is obviously a joke.
I think we've all been punked.

A well-written (I thought) article from the Ossipee Lake Alliance

The report’s evaluation of scientific data—including water turbidity, bank slope characteristics and wave dynamics—makes for dense reading. But the report is clear on one point: waves from wake boat have the potential to be larger and more powerful than those created by other watercraft of similar size and shape.
Research sponsored by the Water Sport Industry Association (WSIA) in 2015 found wave heights for wakeboarding were 43% higher than when the same boat was cruising and not towing a boarder. Waves for wakesurfing were 114% higher, using the same comparison.
In regard to wave energy (discussed in detail in the report) the WSIA study found waves from wakeboarding generated 179% more wave energy than waves from the boat when cruising, and 720% more energy for the same boat when wakesurfing.

Where does one's freedom encroach on another's?

"Your boat is eroding my shoreline"!

"It's my right to do so"!

"But your temporary enjoyment is permanently doing damage"!
