Hi,

We ride on a small lake and, during peak summer months, although there aren't that many boats, some of the wakeboat drivers are so bad that they can make the lake a nightmare to ride on. They go around in circles and power turn to pick up their rider and so on, which often makes the lake unriedeable after only a few minutes. And funny enough, I often here these bozo's complain about choppy water, when they're actually creating all the turbulence themselves!

I've gotten acquainted with some of the drivers and, in a friendly way I've been able to teach them to drive properly, with great success.

In order to educate the other drivers in a very "smooth" way, I'm thinking about putting together a brochure about better wakeboat driving so that everyone can enjoy good water conditions on the lake. I want to hand these brochures out to all boat owners around the lake and hopefully get them to improve their driving habits.

Does anyone have some material that I could use for this, like: Articles, pictures or diagrams, or maybe an actual brochure. I know that there's a lot of good stuff on "The Book" DVD about that, so something like that in written format would be great.

Help me make this world a better place!

Willy
