Some of the wake would likely wash over the leading edge of the dock,

I'd like to see how these docks handle wakes and waves.


I think they'd get beat up pretty quickly by large waves, probably
resulting in failure of the attachment points. I've only seen them
in protected waters. Never underestimate the destructive power of
waves.
