I think you must be just LOCO (What is LOCO anyway??)

A surfing strap could be extremely dangerous. Having had a couple of un-planned water ski's behind my boat going down wind with the mainsheet wrapped around my ankle, I can tell you from first hand experience, you tend to go DOWN rather than UP . In one case I was able to pull my foot free and the other the boat capsised before anything bad happened but one thing is for sure, I don't want to do it again!
