"It's not safe at all," said Boise resident Jill Coles. "The pond is too dirty. I'm afraid they're going to inhale a bunch of bad, warm water and get sick."
But she is just fine letting her dog swim in that same water? As long as the wakeboarders AND dog owners respect the area as well as others I don't see why they can't all get along and use the area together.

they're probably wading though.

That just sucks. Doesn't seem like they're doing much harm, but close-minded people who judge others will always ruin people's fun. If they were playing football there, nobody would have a problem with it... just goes to show how people view these types of "action sports" or whatever you want to call skateboarding/wakeboarding/surfing/biking/whatever.

I see it from both sides. That first lady is used to having a quiet place in nature where she can relax and enjoy the company of her dogs. Now piece and quiet contends with a motor. BRAAAAAAAP.

At the same time, I believe everyone should get to enjoy the area. Except for Wakesurfers of course. No one likes them. :-)

That's pretty shocking.
