Kenny, I saw that news story over and over about the kid who got bit recently and saved himself jamming a finger in the gators eyes. He got chomped on good but saved his life with that move. He was not wakeboarding. Him and some friends were on the St. Johns river hanging out splashing on the shoreline. I saw a follow up story that said the attack occurred after dusk AND they had spotted gators earlier in the day but still went to the same spot to hang at prime time. Gators are like snakes... leave them alone and they go on with their day. If you see them and try to spray them with a powerslide or happen to take a crash right into a breeding area, all bets are off!
