Tim Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 If you are not already aware, Michigan State Representative Julie Rogers of District 41 (Kalamazoo area) introduced a bill (HB 5532) that would limit the use of any boat contributing to towed water sports. We want to make it clear that this is not exclusive to wake surf boats only. The bill uses the terminology of "Wake sport mode" which refers to the operation of a boat with any wake-enhancing equipment/features engaged. This includes but is not limited to ski boat hydrogates, microtuners, wake shapers, ballast, etc. It is important to note that if we do not fight this issue now, it is only going to hurt the boating industry as a whole down the road! Here's the complete bill: https://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(mj5g3hjl4ur5yjr2taquk5su))/mileg.aspx?page=getObject&objectName=2024-HB-5532 If you have not already contacted your state representative, WSIA has provided a link that will help you quickly draft an email to send in to express this concerning matter. We cannot stress how important it is to voice your concerns on this issue involving towed water sports in order to protect our boating rights! https://wsia.net/quorum/ The above information was from SilverSpray Sports in Michigan. If this bill passes, I will not be able to surf on my lake. Don't let this happen. Contact your state rep!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
