Wake boats and wake surfing will again be discussed at the quarterly meeting of the Conover Lakes Committee.

At the meeting in May, we heard from Steven Kessler, who brought us up to date on efforts to regulate wake boats. Jeff Meesman reported on a method to determine whether a lake is suitable for wake boat use. Richards Phillips, a retired attorney, explained the legal process for regulating wake boats in Wisconsin, at the local level.

At the August 6th meeting, we will hear from two engineers, Steve Radtke and Bill Banholzer, who have studied the literature about wake boats. They will provide a different perspective and context on concerns about wake boats raised previously, (Steve and Bill are not affiliated with any boat manufacturer or association.)

Regular Agenda items will also be discussed.
