Default Water Sports Category on Forum

Any idea why there isn’t a water sports category on the forum? Apparently there is only an outdoor activities section. Message to the administrators/ website hosts. It Would be great to have a watersports category to chat with people interested in athletic water activities.

The Boating category has always been a good place to post about all on-the-water activity on the lake.

Maybe start your own website or Facebook page and leave those of us trying to enjoy life and minimize the damage to the lake alone.

If it is not obvious to you that most people do not want the loud "music" and large wakes that your crowd brings then there is not much hope for you.

There is a large and varied mix of people on this site and while all of the posters do not always agree most have the best interest of the lake at heart. If you are operating a wake boat blasting loud music then the majority of the people on the lake will be happy if you go someplace else.

Is it possible to have a sub forum created under boating for that?

Great idea. Take a ride around this Great Lake any day and you will see sometime 1/2 the boats pulling something behind it!

Well said. The truth is that most people are out actually having fun on the lake with water sports towing things and people to get caught up in forums; but it would be cool to have the category.

Default Sorry

I don't see many supporters for obnoxious loud music and big continuous circling wakes. Time to reveal who you really represent or go away. None of your enthusiasts go in front of me, but they still have obnoxious loud music in the broads which comes to me.

No--at any given moment, most people are not in their boats. But also at any given moment--it only take one circling jerk to disrupt dozens (hundreds?) of people with big wakes and loud music, scarring the shoreline while they are at it..

Couldn't resist Scot. If you had a wake boat, would you name it "Circle Jerk"?
