Although I don't recommend this, it's true! You can actually start wakesurfing, once you let go of the rope you can legally take your life jack off and surf without it!!! The Iowa rule is you MUST have a life jacket on while be PULLED by the boat! Once you are no longer being pulled by the boat, LEGALLY you are not required to have a life jacket on.

unless you've got a side swipe exhaust i still think it is a good idea just in case you happen to pass out due to the CO2

At the point where we start wake surfing I usually had one too many beers for me not to wear my life jacket.

I ride mainly in the evenings or the mornings in Waterloo/Cedar Falls at Brinker Lake. (George Wyth State Park). The lake is also known as East Lake! It's small but when no one is out there in the evenings and mornings, it's big enough and close enough to get the job done!

albinoblacksheep, where are you from? I believe the local news channel KWWL is going to be doing a story on wakesurfing, and guess who they've chosen! Smile If you surf at all let me know and maybe we can get you out there with us. Right now I'm the only one that rides out of all my friends, it's nice to have boat drivers! Smile

The same is true for riding after dark. If you could paddle into the wave you could do it at any hour.
