Is this possible behind a wakeboat? When some of my friends fall when they are still holding onto the handle they get slack in the line without a board on their stomach. They than let go to get the board though.

Not safe, there was a news report this last year of a woman body surfing behind a boat with six trained life guards on board - she didn't wear a life jacket, fell unconscious from the fumes and now she's dead.

We body surf behind my Enzo all the time. I usually use a coex board but my friend has gone quite a ways without one.

Sideswipe rules for this stuff.

A few years ago, some friends and I went thru alot of hassle getting the CA legislation to rewrite the law so wakesurfing did not get
sucked in with the outlawing of Teaksurfing, a deadly sport. Bodysurfing? Same thing. Listen to Ed. Jason, ride that Stix I sent you and save the bodysurfing for the beach...PLEASE. I know you have Sideswipe but most do not. This crazyness will get us all shut down. The boat companys are just starting to come around and we do not need to get associated with another death that had nothing to do with wakesurfing.

Body surfing behind a boat is a great way to die !

what's a sideswipe?

Exhaust that exits from the side of the boat Vs the stern like most boats. It also has the added benefit of being very loud and obnoxious.

Some Centurion boats have it.

Chris, Exhaust out the side of the hull.

Jerry, sinse I got that stixx from you the only time I screw around with body surfing is when I am trying to pop up like a real surfer. And I am in the middle of nowhere where it seems rules don't apply. I know that is no excuse, but we ride til midnight all the time as the boat patrol rides with me! I hate to admit it but I have only strapped my wakeboard on about three times sinse I got your board. I am hooked on shred stixx.
