well I'm visiting my friends in South Carolina and their lakes here are nothing like Arkansas. I'm about to go wakeboarding with all the alligators, so if anyone can give me any suggestions on how not to get eaten it would be great.

Don't fall!!

And only dockstart!!!

bite them before they bite you

Just punch them in the eye. Like the kid that got attacked recently, the gator grabbed him, pulled him under, he punched the gator in the eye, the gator let go. I guess we can learn a lot from kids.

are you sure you wanna ride there? <BR><a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/4387/185630.html?1092683070" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/4387/185630.html?1092683070</a>

I've boarded in SC and the gators are pretty small. they usually stay under 12 feet long, so it will take more than one bite to swallow you. by then you should escape with at least 2 limbs. <BR> <BR>the leeches are alot worse than the gators.

well I survived, but it wasn't that fun. I'm not used to gators in Arkansas. We were out there about 4 hours today and I saw 7, which is too many for me.
