Here's the 'Final Report of the Commission to Study Wake Boats - New Hampshire' ..... dated June 30, 2020 ...... a 28-page, State of New Hampshire report that is easily Googled for reading.

The New Hampshire Marine Trades Association ..... www.boatingnh.com ...... has a political action committee that funnels political donations from NH boat dealers and national boat makers to NH-Republican state representatives and state senators so basically, absolutely nothing much will be happening to discourage the wake boats.

And besides all this political, money contributions stuff ....... big bad waves ARE big bad fun! Having them send big waves into my small shoreline is fun, fun, fun! Is like a big huge challenge to surf the big wake, boat waves on a stand up paddle board, (a sup) , or a kayak, canoe or small jon boat with two oars. Is like the difference between relatively smooth, calm or weekend choppy water and a big, powerful 2-3' high wave coming inbound.

Here it comes ....... a big wave coming this way ....... keep 'em coming here ....... lov'n those big, bad waves!

Big waves are big fun! Smooth, calm water is so dull and boring!

So, just go get yourself an 11'6"-long x 32"-wide SUP and go hit those big waves ....... and become a TEENAGER, again ...... ..... there's no stoppn' the wake boat, wake waves ...... so's you might as well go get out there and hit those waves! A $250 inflatable rigid sup will weigh only 22-lbs and support a 200-lb person, standing up and paddling one of those long sup paddles.

These very expensive $80,000-wake boats have inboard engines and cruise control and they cruise along, making a big wake, at a relatively slow speed of something like 22-mph, maybe a little faster, to create their best wake-surfing wake which can have NO tow line attached between the boat and the surfer.

..........................

So, what's missing from the first beautiful photo at www.boatingnh.com with the Mount Washington and the boats all docked up along the Weirs wooden public dock ....... what's missing from this picture is the 62'-long x 22'-wide Dive barge, a floating bar-restaurant with two outboard motors.
