Javalinas aren't hogs, but face to face, you wish the one staring you down would just go away! Hillbilly surfing reminded me of water skiing in an irrigation canal in Phoenix. I'll do a post on that event soon. Phillip, thanks for the mention. Javalinas aren’t hogs, but face to face, you wish the one staring you down would just go away!

Anyone who supports hunting and the outdoors pursuits, AND is willing to be towed behind a boat with nothing but a piece of fiberglass encased styrofoam (no straps or bindings to hold you down) can be my friend. Even better is that you spearfish... in fresh water! Spent a lot of time in the Atlantic chasing grouper, hogfish, and flounder, but never did much freshwater spearfishing. In NC, you can't shoot freshwater gamefish (that I know of). Anyway, glad to have you aboard and looking forward to reading more on your site. Welcome, Darrell!

But more importantly, I consider it a real honor to be referred to as "a new friend". Wow. When I started writing for my blog I didn't realize that part of the reward would be making new friends that share my passion for the outdoors and love to hunt! I'm new to freeboarding (or hillbilly surfing as I like to call it), but love it. It is a wild feeling to ride a surfboard behind a boat, especially once you let go of the rope. I generally fall within 15-20 seconds of letting go of the rope, but I have friends that can 'surf' for 15 minutes or more without a rope. It's a lot of fun. I'll be doing some more of it this weekend between spearfishing and regular ole pole and line fishing. Thanks again for the mention, my friend. Thanks for the link.
