Surfcasting.....extreme sport or not?

[bloocrab]

Fishing is not an "Extreme" sport in my mind -

Not using your better judgement makes a lot of things "extreme" to one degree or another -
If you're in heavy surf with waves pounding you over the head and you don't back up, that doesn't make it "extreme"......it makes YOU stupid.
If you're skishing in a raging swell in-between a good rip and the mainland, you're not making it extreme.......you're making yourself an idiot.
Most "extreme" situations (surf-wise) can NOT be fished correctly...for the most part, you're putting yourself in danger...and you don't catch squat!! From Hero to Zero in point 2 seconds -

I often laugh at the guy who wades out so far he can't use his rod effectively while casting. He can't lower the tip enough to get where he wants to cast....so why wade out so far??? ...."Looky Me, way out here but can't cast farther than the guy 20 feet behind me...but I can spook the fish that were in close"....

Now if you were talking about targeting Bloocrabs - - - - NOW YOU'RE TALKING EXTREME!!!!
