15 year old in Maitland, FL had his legs mangled up by ski boat prop yesterday. There were 5 other people on the boat at the time too.

Um surfing behind an outboard is a terrible idea.

| yesterday i watched some kid hang off of the side of a 20ft outboard on a skimboard as the boat driver was driving donuts fast as hell. if the kid fell he would have been sucked right under the engine with the angle he was at.. |

Me and my friends used to wakesurf behind an outboard. We decidided as a whole that we should quit while we were ahead.
My uncle, Jeff Knox's dad used to barefoot while driving hanging onto the side of his whaler with no one else in the boat and no kill switch attached.  |
