Personal Watercraft Insurance – Teak surfing is a Big No
Monday, Nov. 2nd 2020 6:23 AM
Teak surfing or also known as “platform dragging,” refers to body surfing by holding on to the swim platform of a moving vessel. It is extremely dangerous because it puts the surfer directly in the path of the boat’s exhaust and poisonous carbon monoxide. Teak surfing is illegal in all units of the National Park System and several states, including California, Nevada, Washington State and Pennsylvania.
