You are correct and Bear Islander is wrong. There is no RSA in New Hampshire preventing wake jumping with a PWC, or any other craft, as long as the vessel is not being operated recklessly and is following all required minimum distance regulations.

The practice is discouraged by verbiage in the boating guide and some safety officials, and is illegal in some other States.
