It should be law here, specially at a couple of lakes. But, I am not sure how much good it would do.
I remember taking our Rinker up to one lake for some water skiing. 75' rope between the boat and skier in the water and one person in the boat with an orange flag held high, when a boater decided to take a short cut (SLOWLY) between the boat and skier. Needles to say, he cut the rope which is a fair amount of change due to being a special "V" rope.
We confronted about replacing the rope in which he declined, so we called Patrol, WHICH happen to see the whole thing anyway.
We didn't get reimbursed for the rope, but the other boater got a healthy fine and will think twice.
In short...some lakes attract CRAZY people.
