Yes, he was likely surfing on the rockslide at Triangle lake. I almost lost a tooth doing that, tragic. The diving platform is a great place to kill yourself too.
He was a professional football player, as well as, a college football player? Pretty good trick, if you ask me.
Harmless fun has turned deadly in Eugene, before. It was popular to “surf” on a knee-board attached to a rope under the pedestrian bridge near Autzen. Fall into the fast, cold water, and you may be in trouble.
