I remember when I was growing up how nervous and even mad my mother would get at other "idiot" boaters around us. She was always concerned about our safety and was especially fearful when we'd fall in the middle of a busy lake. As much as I wish waterskiing was more in the public eye and not isolated to private lakes, this video is another great argument for staying off public water.

I've had them chase us while skiing and jump the wake or follow directly behind us with skier in tow. When any of that happens, we drop the skier at shore and stop skiing.

Any sport where you can master and become elite in 20 minutes.......and ruin everyone else's water in the process is not for me!
There was a death (jet skier) on Devil's Lake about an hour north of me several years ago. A well known Developer from our area ran in front of a SN headed into the jump ramp with jumper in tow.
That lake is lucky there have not been others fatalities, it is a crazy place to be on the water on any given weekend after lunch, mainly due to the jet skis running 80 mph in all directions.
We had a rental place on our local lake for a few years and it was a nightmare. When it closed, the village board said, "Never again will a business license be issued for a PWC rental dock." Amen.
if you know a better way to help him understand hes endangering people you care about id love to hear it. without a law forcing the jet skier to paint his phone number in big letters on the sides of his jet ski i dont know a better way to speak directly to him do you? once you 'chase him down' you gain 2 things. you personally school him on the fact that a ski boat can catch him if it wants to and you make it clear that his actions wont be tolerated. you may not like it and i guess my i.q. is 100 points lower than yours but this way works better than any thing else we;ve tried over the years. ive only had to discuss it one time with any jet skier and then ive never had a problem with that guy again. and as a bonus the word gets out among the other jet skiers too.
