You serious? A platform start is pretty straight forward, no real danger other then tearing up your platform or your board. Generally you will be gone from the platform as soon as the wave forms. As you said, the prop is 4 foot under the boat. You would have to dive under the boat that's moving forward and aim for the prop.

WTH is platform riding? Do you mean teak surfing? Teak surfing is a far different activity from wake surfing. The primary danger from teak surfing is carbon monoxide poisoning as your face is directly in the path of the exhaust. When you wake surf, your head is above the boat line. Teak surfing is for those who enjoy sinking beer cans in the lake.
