Wakesurfing should be restricted to areas on Lake Minnetonka that are consistent with distance from shore and water depths found to be environmentally safe by the University of Minnesota studies on waves and prop wash.

Wakesurfing Can:

Erode shorelines, scour the lake bed with powerful prop wash, causing resuspension of algae promoting phosphorus, uprooting aquatic vegetation, damaging fish spawning beds/fisheries, loon nesting sites.
Cause damage to docks, moored boats, and shoreline ripwrap.
Jeopardize the safety of paddlers, swimmers, anglers, and small boats.
Crowd out other recreational users because their large high energy powerful waves make these activities impossible or far less enjoyable.
Deprive lakeside residence of their right to the peace, quiet and comfort of their home and outside deck, patio, etc.
