Personally I like the "wake" from a strong wind and a long fetch. :-) As far as Matt Broze is concerned regarding this matter of night boat-wake riding and disconcerted authorities, it's probably simply a matter of Matt's long beard and his dark-at-night cotton brimmed hat. It probably doesn't help that as he doubles back for yet another fine ride, he's belting out the lyrics in the moonlight to ZZ Top's Doubleback: I got shot through a space not long ago, I thought I knew the place so well. It wasnt the same, now it goes to show, Sometime you never can tell. Im lookin high and low, dont know where to go, I got to double back, my friend. The only way to find, what I left behind I got to double back again, double back again. You know Im movin on in this fine machine, Rollin on through the night. Seein things like Ive never seen And its taking me outta sight. Lookin high and low, dont know where to go, I got to double back, my friend. The only way to find, what I left behind I got to double back again, double back again. Its got me up and down, I been lost and found, Down in a deep dark hole. Looks like my luck has changed, I been rearranged And Im coming out on a roll. Lookin high and low, dont know where to go, I got to double back, my friend. The only way to find, what I left behind I got to double back again, double back again. The fact he looks like a ZZ Top band member and is even signing their lyrics, but ensconced in a kayak (and rudderless too) chasing fast boats that ostensibly are sometimes used in the drug trade, well, you can understand how disconcerting it can look... I do hope he never gets truly rearranged by a propeller blade, though probably his beard would tangle in the prop and cause a cessation of further injury.
