These surfboats are throwing higher wakes against the shore than Mother Nature does.
It has to be having some negative type effect on shore stabilization integrity, plant life, animal life, etc.
Indeed, especially a mess in the smaller reservoirs like Hyrum. We took our grandkids there last summer and they refused to even go into the water so dirty and churned up from all the power squad. I've put in my kayak from the beach area early morn and had a pleasant paddle until getting almost swamped on take out when those wake board waves come into the shallow beach.
How spoiled are folks in UT?? The water is ALWAYS stirred up and brown in many parts of the country...including where I grew up in OK. It's just suspended clay. That said, I absolutely love being able to see my entire body, and not just the upper half when bobbing in the water. There were a few lakes back home that had good water clarity, and full disclosure, they were my favorites.
As to people skiing after dark in front of the rangers? That's a ranger problem. After legal sunset, they should be enforcing that rule.
