| Post subject: | Disclaimer |
That disclaimer text has been there for as long as we have had kayaks on the site. I added the kayak surf link without even considering it. Yes, I suppose it is a bit of "do as I say... not as I do". You have to be experienced to access rough conditions, so for most... the disclaimer is good information. |

I can see where the Outback would not be suitable for some of the rivers in West Virginia. Looks like a good disclaimer to me. Have you ever surfed any boat wakes yet?

Hey Rinky.. 
Boat wakes are fun... We have a lake here that has many narrow bays/canyons out of the wind that draw wake boarders and skiers and make many big wakes. I have spent hours riding the wakes near shore around points and coves its a blast. I posted those big wave shots a while back of Mavericks which is not far up the coast from the Bean Hollow incident . We can have huge winter surf here on the coast that would not be safe to go out in. If I drive to the coast and back I will usually go surfing instead. The Hobie surf yak video ( at SAN-O ?) does look like fun though
