Waved them at some "macho" windsurfers years ago when spearfishing in Portugal.
It did work, plus the sails/windsurfers could be easily identifiable later on at the beach/harbour and matters could - were - be taken further, most of all by reporting to maritime authorities.
I prefer to wait for them as they finish their rides (if I observed them from the surface) point out what they've done, look them straight in the eye and ask, "Were you born an idiot or were you raised that way?". Sort of reduces the value for money they tought they'd got before being humiliated in front of everyone.
Happened twice, they apologised and I suspect they won't be doing it again.
Problem is, there are only a few who can be put to shame in this way because it is impossible to identify them - or the jetski - from below.
As with most things, the solution lies in education.
