Wakesurfing legislation call to action

[John Mercier]

All boats cause erosion, but boats distinctly made to increase waves by definition distinctly cause more erosion. Since PWC are already restricted beyond headway speed within 300 feet of shore, and are much smaller in displacement... it would not be unreasonable to expect the Legislature to set the same standard for a vessel distinctly designed to create increased wave action.

Not exactly. "Ski craft" must be 300' away, but that only applies to one or two-seaters. PWCs with 3 seats are defined and regulated as boats, which means 150'.
