SURFING WAKES UP MISSISSIPPI
 

Anyone out there know whether this can be/is/has been done? What legal
authorities may have control over such activities? State police, local,
USCG???

Is it feasible from a wave-catching and at-least-it's-not-illegal-just-yet
standpoint?

Past stern-wheeler wake-surfing experience has made me dream of floating
down to New Orleans and then trying to "hitch-hike" back upstream.

All comments welcome, even if it's just to tell me I am an irresponsible
moron

This is just too simple.

Well, yeah, but it sounds like a fun idea. I'll keep an eye on this
thread. Nothing I'd ever care to do, but, as I said, fun to think
about.

Geeze!... How high are the wakes on those things?

I don't know about stern-wheelers, but I once surfed the bow wave of a ferry
through the ship canal from Lake Washington to Puget Sound, for a distance
of about a mile. I could keep my spacing from the vessel at about 15-20
feet, and the bow wave was about 4 feet tall and clean. It was just a case
of laying on a nice low brace and smiling at the people.

I'm sure Mississippi is asleep, but I doubt if surfing will wake it up.
