I came across some of these wakesurfing vids a while ago... If you're thinking of trying it, make sure your boat is an inboard, with the propeller in front of the transom. I have seen pics of people who have lost a hand after falling forward onto the outboard motor of the tow boat.

Breathing exhaust fumes from a pig boat and having to listen to a motor is NOT my idea of a relaxing session.

respect all on boards dude, some of the stuff wakesurfers and wakeskaters is pretty gnarly, and actually even with a motor humming, doing on a lake in NH with beautiful mountains and blue sky can be pretty relaxing... :D

Tried wakesurfing last year at my sister's cabin in Montana. Kinda fun, fairly easy to do the basics. Kinda wild to have a 15 minute continuous ride!!
