I guess we fall into the minority on this thread. My kids surf and wakeboard and we have a new surf boat coming this season. That being said, we ride in wide open areas- mainly off the east side of Bear and far offshore at that. And we don't crank the stereo, honestly I never play it for the riders.
We stay well away from shore and from other boats. For some reason we seem to be magnets, as there can be nobody else around and wide open water surrounding us, but frequently we are buzzed by other boats. Cruising along at 11mph its pretty easy to see us.
Lets figure out how to enforce existing boating laws before enacting other feel good ones that won't get enforced.
Maybe start with sitting a patrol boat in front of MP to bust all of the 150' rule breakers. We got swamped countless times last season coming out of Smith Cove.
