Being a respectful surfer-
   So I witnessed something recently that really left a bad taste in my mouth. A small boat by a shoreline on a large lake, they were fishing and enjoying the day. There was a boat a few hundred yards away surfing. All was good. The wind shifted and the wake boat headed to the se shoreline as the fishing boat. They plowed right  by the small boat and sent huge rollers. The 2 people in the small boat were rocked hard and water almost went over the rail of the boat. The people surfing in the wake boat were all looking and having a good laugh. Not cool. The water is for everyone and we need to be respectful of others boaters that are in an area before we show up. Being a jerk will just give wakesurfing a bad reputation and cause places to try and shut it down on their lakes.
Give other boats plenty of space and be aware of your rollers. Let’s all be respectful and make people want to know and learn about wakesurfing. Instead of the jerks in fancy boats!
Happy surfing and enjoy the water – DD
