This " skishing" sounds like a bad idea. Sure it is effective but it really is unsafe. IMO you are on your own when you do somthing like that. The problem I have is saftey. The CG could get call to rescue you from some bystander who see's some fool way out there drifting out to sea. If the CG actaully attempts a rescue this is costly and a diversion of a resourse. (who pays for this?) Do they come out the next time to rescue you? What if there is a non-skisher out there who needs help..do they go out and get him/her? How does one tell the difference between someone who wants to be out there as opposed to someone who is in genuine need of help?

Moreover, there is the shark attack and boating hazards to be concerned with.

This method is not considered surf casting, and is not allowed in fishing contests of anykind as far as I know. IMO skishing is just another way to spell dumb. It may be kewl and a productive fishing technique but it is stupid. At a minimum they should have a diving flag...

I think after more get into it and a few of the die the message will become clear.
