This is a safe cove for skiing, which the name of game and is an asset to all. Fisherman stay happy and skiers stay happy.. Its been this way for 10 plus years everyone has been agreeable.

This is such a great sport! I am sad to see that there are some that don't see the blessing of having something like this in their backyard. Skiers are very dedicated to their sport and it takes a long time to be good at it. George and The Tyler Ski Club use this course to train competitively and they should be able to ski on it. The ski course is on his property. I know the skiers personally and they are professional working people in the Tyler community. They are not trouble makers nor do they party and trash up the lake. The skiers who ski this course are only guilty of enjoying a wonderful sport. Whatever the concerns are I am confident that the skiers will be able to work with the lake community.

Pleae do not take away yet another site from this public water where competitive slalom skiing can be practiced. With the ever increasing oversized wake barge boats destroying our waterways, competitive skiing is constantly being pushed to private isolated sites. It is the lake destroying wake barges that are now being even further overloaded creating monster lake destroying wakes, even large enough for SURFING that need to be banned, not the three event boats which have been refined over and over again to produce the smallest wakes attainable.

Chad thank you for the support! I know my dad greatly appreciates all of the support from you and other professionals of the sport he loves. We are working to resolve the issue with the person who had an issue with it. We will keep everyone updated and would love to have you out if this thing gets resolved how it should!

We do too! I wish the City would take in the value he has added to the lake on his own dime into consideration before just "banning" him with no real reasoning. We have learned who complained and our working towards a peaceful and fair resolution though! Stay tuned and thank you for the support!

I agree! I have witnessed my dad on dozens of occasions spend hours teaching people in this cove and for all that to get taken away would be heartbreaking! Thank you for the support!
