Redneck Surfing
February 22, 2008 5:58 pm Alternative SurfingIt’s easy to forget that not everyone in Florida lives on or walking distance to the beach; a number of Florida residents are landlocked and must entertain themselves other ways… or prepare for those few trips a year to the beach… This is where one of Florida’s numerous lakes, spread across the state, come in handy.

The youngster in the video above, is body surfing in a small lake in Pace, Florida. The fact that he’s being pulled by a truck explains why I found this video on Youtube titled “Redneck Surfing”.
But when the lakes are not large enough, nor extreme enough, some brave souls risk it all on the streets of their small-town neighborhoods.

Finally, we come to the extremists who love the notion of surfing and have surfing in their blood… but do not actually own a surfboard. This is where creativity (or stupidity) comes into play. The fine rednecks, (I mean gentlemen) below demonstrate that a couch can serve many purposes.

WARNING: Do not attempt Redneck Surfing if you are not a redneck. Also, respect your couch!

Awesome videos - the wipeout one was terrifying. Besides the crashes how do so many surfers avoid each other in the water?!
