A huge thank you to all who have shared your opposition to House Bill 4099! Our collective efforts have succeeded in changing House Bill 4099 from a proposed law into a proposal for an Advisory Panel to look at the best ways to share our waterways while mitigating the impact of wakes from towboats.
Another thank you goes to State Representative Vial for agreeing to take more time to look at this issue from all sides.
At this point, let’s work together to educate ourselves and other boaters. We all need to work together to keep our water ways open and safe. Below is a quick list of things to remember when we are out on the water:
- Stay at least 150 feet from shoreline, docks and other structures
- When picking up a fallen rider, stop and turn around slowly, avoiding power turns that throw waves in all directions
- Avoid repetitive passes through the same area
- Listen to music at reasonable levels
Be a good steward of the sport and we will continue to enjoy all the access we have now.

We’ve been going to Cumberland my entire life and my dad always said that this good lake etiquette.
LOVE that you took the time & effort to make this video! Stop the power turners!!!!!! Now, if we could only get more people to watch this video and understand that EVERYONE will benefit from not doing power turns...including “THEM”! This is just as important on lakes...not just for river boaters! Thank you for posting this!
100 % correct, we have done that since the 80's in South Africa. Great clip.
And it keeps the boat from taking on water over the bow! Need this vid to go viral!
I actually didn't know this common sense, and used to power turn. Did this all last summer and it works awesome! Thanks!
Great message and a great tutorial. Works on lakes too!
I really wish all Wake Board Boats followed your advice, we've had a real problem with them trying to swamp fishing boats or smaller boats and kayakers here in TN.
Good video. Been driving ski boats since the 80s (yeah I'm old), we always slowed down out of respect for other skiers/boarders.
32 dislikes to this video at time of writing this post. What is there to dislike? Come on people! This maybe common sense to some, but not all, yet it will help every water user out there. Win win.
Great video, i do what you do but have never thought to kick it in reverse real quick, brilliant and thanks for sharing.
you don't need to kick in reverse even, boat will slowly turn nicely
Yes! Love it, great video, the world needs less power turners!
As a jet skier, make bigger wakes! We love them!
Awesome video guys!!!
Thank you, Max!
thanks for that. Grew up in the ca delta waking in the mid 90's to date myself. byerly and the scud. Turned into a bass guy who deals with rollers over the bow all day. Funny how things work out. The fam wanted a wake boat. Picked up a malibu 23 lsv and have over 2000lbs of ballast and make this slow turn all day. Common sense. Believe me there are plenty of pissed off anglers ready to go to battle over the wake thing. Be cool on the water.
This just popped up in my recommended. I can say I had a lot of people doing this on my local lake this year. I was down in the water and this one boat almost hit both me and my boat with his tube then did a power turn less that 30 from me to go pick up the person who jumped off the tube cause he thought he was going to hit my boat. The boat driver then blamed me for everything....
The 44 dislikes are probably the power turn idiots that cause the same section of the river this video was shot to now be closed to surfing, wakeboarding, tubing!!
Please be responsible boat drivers before we loose more areas to ride!!
I thought you want to turn toward the side that the rider is on, we ride a little bit listed and the boat really doesn't turn the other direction very well .
No, exact opposite. Turn towards your small wake side.
Turning towards your surf wave you risk actually swamping or sinking your boat if you are really loaded down.
You should always pull up to the fallen rider on the driver side so you can clearly see the rider in the water. You can lose site of the down rider on the pass side and run the risk of hitting them. After the rider falls I throw it in nuetral and let the large waves pass. bust a u turn and have the fallen rider clearly in my vision to avoid contact with him
Good content, but tough to take you serious with that stache.
Dude that stache is freaking awesome. Its old school and not punkish and it fits the guy well I think.
Stache is ok.. But I guess he meant it makes him think of Borat, than you lose the point.. But I agree with stache-dude 100%. Wish every bayliner-capri asshole would watch this video; it seems like they follow me with their ugly red inner tube, each time I put by wakeboard on lol, and fill the ballast
For sure, no power turns in a heavily loaded wake boat. Turn TOWARDS the shore though. ALWAYS turn TOWARDS the shore. NEVER PASS PEOPLE between the boat and shore unless the boat in front is driving 1,000's of feet from shore. - Just sayin....
Actually, turn away from the large wake. If your wake if left, turn right. If the wake is right, turn left.
... if you do it correctly, you will turn on the spot without any lateral movement.
@@matthewspino1653 100% correct
What boat is it? Axis A22.... What year?
This boat is a 2017 Malibu 24 MXZ
It depends on the sport, if I'm tubing I want that power turn
typically not post fall though
Length of rope?
Bryce Romero, about 22ft.
Your length of rope is determined by where the sweet spot in your wake is. Everyone’s set up is different.
I wakesurf on a cheap shitty 16 foot boat... there really is no wake so it doesn't matter how we turn around.
I've never, ever, seen anyone do a "power turn". Great way to sink your boat though.
Look closer.. ppl with tubes do that most of their time on the water.. mainly bayliners, and rest of trash boats that only able to pull small tube with their kids...
Or try a real water sport like barefooting long line deep water.
Sun glasses?

This should be common sense problem is some people have more money than brains.
Those big wake boats ruin a lot of peoples day much less erode the shoreline more quickly
Dwreck Baker whaaaaaah whaaaaaah. No more than any cruiser
Or any waves that hit the shore by mother nature. News FLASH, shores erode and move their sediment to build shores else where.
You can neither drive a boat nor grow a mustache.

No flag???
If I drop 140 grand on a 24 MKX you bet your ass I will power turning
are people really pissy about wakes now ....shit
Now if only you could teach people to give a crap about other people on the water…
Dumbest sport EVER!!
hmmmmm... I feel like this is an extreme response. have you ever seen curling? or football? or trolling? oh wait... that was exactly what you were doing.....
Is that mustache serious or a joke?
I have the same exact mustache and honestly I feel like a little bit of a joke....
As serious as a heart attack!
Dude it looks so 1970's..
To each his own.
Guys should even try to grow a mustache until they're about 35...
What he doesn't look like a 15 year old millennial and you have a problem with it lol. Kind of looks like he is in the Navy or Coast Guard, that or recently retired.
