“Why is it dangerous? It is like playing with a loaded gun,” Evans said. He
then noted, “As I explained in the previous advisory, “Teak/Drag Surfing”
entails individuals taking hold of the swim platform of a vessel while it is
underway. After a large wake builds up, they let go of the platform and body
surf. This puts the individual directly in the path of the vessel’s exhaust where
they breathe in dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. If that in itself is not
dangerous enough, the individuals are also in a position that a slight
miscalculation may throw them in to a spinning propeller. “And, it doesn’t
stop there, Evans said, in order to “Teak/Drag Surf” you cannot wear a life
jacket, the two do not go together. So, all this is a receipe for tragedy. A
tragedy that the Coast Guard wants to see averted, and that is why we are re-
issuing this alert.”
