from Rob

Hey there Jesse:
Damn crazy bowl people. Actually it's a type of asian surfing. They
drop the folks off in the bowl in front of a big ship, then when the
ship passes and the wake comes, surf's up baby. It's a not a game
for the faint of heart because if your bowl gets capsized, very
common, just try floating a bowl in the sink and you'll know what I
mean, those waters are shark infested. The world record is held by
Thakt Bi Twave, he rode a wake nearly 3500 miles from the coast of
Vietnam to just west of the Cape of good Hope but a spring storm
knocked him off the wave and capsized him. Fortunately he was
rescued by a flock of migrating Emperor penguins on their way to
breed in Antarctica. Of course once there he promptly froze to
death. His body was later found by a team of archeologist from
Poland who started a heated debate in the archeology world claiming
that the people of S.E. Asia had actually migrated originally from
Antarctica during the Mezobowl period. This of course was later
disproved but his name will live on forever in the annals of
Vietnamese Bowl surfing. Crazy bowl people.

Cheers, Rob
