I think I can imagine what a surf drogue is, but tell us more, especially 
when/how you would use it.



I would use it to get someone else through surf, not myself. The drogue, when 
attached to the stern will keep the boat perpendicular to the wave. It will 
also slow the boat down. The chute on mine is about 12 inches in diameter and 
has a line of about 9 feet.
