Jumping the wake of another vessel is against the law in Oregon.
Vessel States was created on 2006-04-11.
You can legally operate your vessel at greater than no-wake speed in open waters, away from defined no-wake zones, and as long as you are following the rules and regulations set forth by the local authority or waterway management. It's important to always be aware of your surroundings, other vessels, and wildlife when operating at higher speeds.

The fastest legal speed you may operate your vessel when passing within 200 feet of a dock or marina is "slow - no wake speed." This typically means operating at the slowest speed necessary to maintain steerage and headway. It is important to reduce speed to minimize the risk of causing damage or injury due to wake or other factors.
Checking with the authorities in charge of the waters in which you will operate your vessel is ALWAYS advisable.
