This legislative testimony by Professor William Banholzer provides a technical and hydrodynamic analysis of wake boat setback proposals considered during state-level policy discussions concerning recreational towing operations and shoreline protection. Drawing upon peer-reviewed research, fluid mechanics principles, and comparative vessel wake analysis, the testimony critiques methodologies used in several wake-impact studies and evaluates the scientific basis for varying setback distances associated with wakesurfing operations
