A friend sent me this yesterday, looks like they are trying to create new no wake zones in certain coves on Lake Norman.
The WSIA has issued this via the Water Sports Alert Network about the possible prohibition of wakeboarding and wakesurfing in certain coves of Lake Norman, NC. Please forward to anyone you know in the Charlotte area who would be interested in attending this meeting and making their voice be heard.

The Water Sports Alert Network (WSAN) is your ALERT system to let you and your
dealers know what is going on in their area and in other parts of the world that could affect
them. This network comes to you via courtesy of the Water Sports Industry Association
(WSIA). It may be the most important information you share. Please forward this
document to your dealer network that supports the Lake Norman, North Carolina
area.
WHO: Wakeboarders, Wakeskaters, Wakesurfers, and all power boat enthusiasts
WHAT: Prohibition of the activity of wakeboarding and wakesurfing in certain
coves of Lake Norman
WHERE: Lake Norman, North Carolina
WHEN: Lake Norman Marine Commission meeting is October 13, 2014; 7:00
pm; Charles Mack Citizens Center
WHY: Dock owners and property owners have complained to the Lake Norman
Marine Commission that wakeboard/wakesurf boats are causing shore
erosion and property damage. They are seeking to have “no wake zone”
signs posted in certain coves. At this time, the WSIA does not know the
names of the coves in question. It is in your best interest to attend the
above meeting so your voice and concerns can be heard. Do not expect
someone else to do your bidding. In order to protect your rights to use
Lake Norman for wakeboarding and wakesurfing, you must attend the
above meeting.
