Just got off the phone with the DNR about the event. The purpose of the permit allows us to actually section off water and allow no other traffic in that area, or if the ride is big enough where we (the jet skiiers) are restricting water use in any way. Unfortunately, they will not be able to allow us to break state law on the 150' even within a closed course.
The only thing the DNR would like to see is us staying away from shore as much as possible, because they did receive noise complaints last year from residents. However, he said if we are 150' off shore we are not breaking any laws as long as our skis arnt violating decibel levels which is the same for open header boats. We kept the permit this year because the residents cant really complain about a approved event. I also informed him a lot of us have small fuel tanks and that is why we stay close to shore.
Someone informed me that southtorchresort might have a few rooms left, they are walking distance from the launch.
Also please give me a head count, and how many shirts you would buy, so I can decide if I should order em.
