| If anyone cares about being able to waterski/wakeboard along the stretch of the Willamette through Portland, you may want to look into groups that are trying to stop the marine board from approving a speed restriction on the river. There aren't too many people against it right now and it looks like it's going to quietly make it's way through. Just an FYI. |

| Will the speed limit apply to kiteboarders, who are kiting in that section? |

| You sure its a speed restriction? I know that have been trying to ban ballast and wake enhancing devices. |

Why do they want to restrict the wake? I have waterskied/wakeboarded through there and it is really great flat water. A no wake zone would be a bummer.

| Wake kills the shoreline and messes with boats that are docked. I deal with wake restrictions on the canal system whenever I'm there. |
