Most popular among midsummer sports in Nyssa is boat riding on Snake river. It is no uncommon sight to see hundreds of people on the bridge, watching the lucky dozen or so who can find passage in the two boats. More thrilling still is surf-board riding which the more adventurous are mastering with remarkable ease. For safety's sake they wear life preservers. Ed. Wilson surprised his friends by "scratching" the waves during a regatta Friday night. It was hard to spill him. Then Dr. E. D. Norcott and Clifford Parrish tried their luck with equal success. Dr. Norcott drives a speedy, light motor craft, while Eddie.Powell is the host in a large, heavy launch. Before it came to the Nyssa harbor it saw service in sturgeon fishing. Its capacity is eight passengers in the small, leather-cushioned seats in the cabin. It is equipped with a headlight for night cruising.
