Kirk... that's a great story! I'm clearly going to have to figure a way to get on a surf-ski. I'm afraid I know what will happen if I do, though. I mean besides falling off. Do you use a wing paddle? Regarding parking problems: In many states having a disability parking pass gives the person some perks that normal people don't get when parking. One perk is that tow trucks are VERY shy about towing a vehicle displaying a disability pass (at least in this state). The reason is that state laws in many states allow people with a disability tag to park without regard to paying parking meters or observing time limits. Here in Washington we can't just park in "no parking" areas that are marked by the city (or other municipality) nor can we park all day in loading zones. But displaying that disability parking pass means to a tow truck driver that the chances of litigation - and loss - are very high. Hard to explain to a jury why they towed a car with that pass from any spot that isn't actually creating a greater hazard to others. So you might consider having someone with that pass act as your shuttle car.
