What?

Before I actually begin posting my stories in The Storm Peaks, something just very recently (I'm not kidding here) crossed my mind.

My brother decided to do Wake Surfing.

That's perfectly fine. Actually, that's pretty badass! But I still can't hope but wonder...

Wake Surfing is the sport where you grab into the speedboat by a rope or something similar to one anyways... And as it dashes through the water surface, you go right behind it, jumping in the waves and surfing as the boats pulls you along with it.

If that's basically the idea for the sport, why not Speed Surfing then?

Or even Boat Surfing, because that's what you are doing. Surfing with the help of a boat. Kitesurfing is named correctly, because you are using a kite to surf through the waters. But why a sport that clearly has nothing to do with Waking is called Wake Surfing?

It sounds like the sport of beating people up!

Like when they are asleep, you go to them and whack 'em upside the head with the board to wake them up. But that would maybe be called Whack Surf. Or, if language goes as not intended, Comatose Surf. Or Braindamage Surf.

So I guess if waking people up with a surf board is what you are into, Wakesurf is the sport for you! Just make sure no one around sees you doing it. Or that they don't have helmets, for all that matter.
