Hardcore Nonsense: Lava Surfing

Looking for the next extreme, pro surfer CJ Kanuha thought it would be wise to surf along the Kilauea volcano while lava was flowing out into the water. The New York Post has some great photos.
The Hawaiian surfer proclaimed, "The water is well over 200 degrees in some spots and melted the wax on the surfboard. It was an amazing feeling to get so close to the power of the lava.”
Yeah, that is rather ridiculous. The water around who could have easily given the surfer 2nd or 3rd degree burns. Bra, you should totally back down because it would have been a bummer if you wiped-out on this wave; stick to impressing the beach bunnies.
