In theory, we would shoot the boat that is purposely harassing us, thus "marking" the perpetrator. A call the lake patrol would follow, and the "tagged" boat would be easy to pick out. Not sure of the legality of shooting a boat.... >> Keeping the paint balls dry is a little problematic. I personally enjoy it when the Jet'ers rough up the water, but I would become very protective if it started to bother some of the other paddlers on a club trip. And then there's the escalation issue....Maybe best to just "tag" the Jet'er with a small caliber projectile. Somewhere in the vicinity of a knee would do quite nicely, I should think. All seriousness aside, I agree with you. But it would really start an ugly period between kayakers and Jet'ers. Best to just become comfortable with rough water and thank them for making it for you.
