Teak surfing is popular among some boaters. Swimmers hang onto the rear deck of a boat while they're swimming in the water with the boat still moving. And it's a perfect place for carbon monoxide to build up.

Saturday night, 22-year old Jenda Jones of College Place drowned in Lake Tapps. Paramedics believe it was a result of carbon monoxide poisoning, because the woman was teak-surfing on the back of a speed boat.


wtf? i wonder if theres a danger in wakesurfing then? haha.

thats why i think it was centurion that developed the sideswipe exhaust. it allows the driver to pump fumes to the right or left side of the boat. lets just hope he chooses the right side...

yes surfing is dangerous

but it is not as dangerous as teak surfing, your like 4 feet farther out, ur not in the exact spot the carbon monoxide comes out

you also wear a life vest and most boats should put the carbon monoxide (exaust) into the water!!!

I dont know how people pass out or die from Carbon Monoxide, you get a headache first, then dry mouth, then you get tired. By then, you should probably stop!
