I couldn’t until I saw this video of people doing just that. It’s really dangerous, because the flying ice and debris could very easily cause severe injuries, so it’s not recommended to anyone who’s not a surfing expert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKRR9RMmcIQ -------------------- My most recent blog: A trip to Toronto that turned into a trip to Niagara

I would hate to see what these guys do for a little excitement. -------------------- View my blog entries on Bar Harbor/Acadia national Park http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entri...05168/tpod.html
