Wake surfing should be banned because it . . .

Endangers the safety of everyone else on the lake. Churns up sediment up to 26 feet deep. Erodes the shoreline. Destroys underwater plants and fish habitats. Risks the introduction of invasive plants and animals. Stirs up toxic bacteria in deeper water. Damages docks on the lake. Contaminates lake with anti-freeze. Disturbs and destroys natural shoreline nesting areas. Degrades water quality. Disrupts thermoclines. Tosses moored and docked boats. Endangers people sitting on floating docks. Unsafe for young children on public beaches . . .

Clarification: A ban would apply to the activity of wake surfing, not to wake boats.
