Night Surfing

[chadster2]

The night stuff is at a much higher level.... If your boat left you, that group is different than the one that should be doing the night stuff.... (Glow sticks) I know some people that shouldn't be doing the day surfing because of the extra weight in the boat, I know others that should not be on the lake because the love to drink too much, I know others have little kids with them. All of these groups are different with different limitations. Let's don't say one rule fits all. It's not for all groups that's for sure. I would hate to live on the lake and have to listen to a loud group surfing all night. I should never drive a motor cycle ever but others can. Like clint eastwood said a man needs to know his limitations.

A long time ago (in my much younger days) I was being pulled at night at Lake Powell with a full moon. After quite a while I was getting tired so I decided to just drop the rope and be done. Well, the people in the boat didn't see me drop the rope and off they went. I remember sitting in the water listening to the boats motor fade off in the distance and realizing that they didn't see me drop. For an unforgetable experience, try sitting in the water at midnight on a huge lake, with no one around. Pretty eerie. Just then I heard a boat motor coming from a different direction, coming right toward me. I thought, no big deal, I'll just swim to the side. As I swam to one side, the boat seemed to be coming straight for me. I swam faster, still seemed like it was coming straight towards me and getting alarmingly close. I was ready to dive under as the boat passed about 20 feet away. They never even saw me. Making a long story shorter, my family finally came back and found me, but not before some scary moments for them as well.

Today while surfing, I fell and the people in the boat didn't turn around until a few hundred yards later.

To each his own, but I just see the potential for trouble to be not worth the risk for me. Plus I would hate to see wake surfing outlawed completely.
