BOATS: Move surf contest to Cd’A?

On a more serious note, the problem of surf boats operating too close to docks and shorelines needs to be addressed. The lake is meant for everyone’s enjoyment, but the large wakes and the damage they cause cannot be ignored. Our new docks already have damage from the high wakes along with the constant rocking and bouncing of our boats and wave ridders.
