Some boaters are just clueless, some don't care, and some unfortunately like to F with people. I commuted by bike for several years and there are many similarities between bikes n yaks. Both are hard to see, slow, small, and will get the worst of any encounter with a motorized vehicle/vessel. When biking I always assumed drivers dont see me. Same with power boaters.
Many guys have video cameras on their yaks now. Get the encounter recorded and file a report. I believe boaters are responsible for any damage their wakes cause. Weather it's deliberate or inadvertent. Like possibly flipping a yakker.
Another "solution" might be to land and drive to the closest launch ramp. A yakker will look much bigger on his feet n an ahole boater will be much smaller out of his big boat. Mike
