Excellent job, guys. I have to say, that last part where the guy sprays his friends with the jet ski made me wince. If you don't know what you are doing, that can be unfun really fast. It disturbs me when commercials make really risky stuff look like normal fun. I was once driving a jet ski with my cousin on back. I whipped around and threw him off, which was hilarious, except I then skidded backwards right at him. Luckily he dunked from the fall, and came up to scrap his head on the bottom. He almost got the transit in his face. Not really a fun story, but that last part brought it back. The last fun thing I did was watch an episode of Game of Thrones with my wife, just a few minutes ago. :)
GoT's was a lot of fun for us to watch too. We are definitely looking forward to its return. As for the jet ski, perhaps on this video we should have added the old "Don't try this at home" disclaimer. But I agree, it is irresponsible for advertisers to not consider such things. Jet skis are like drum sets. They're really fun if you are the one on them, otherwise they're annoying. They're annoying to the boaters on the water and to the people on the shore they sound like obnoxious mosquitos constantly buzzing up and down the lake. -I know..."get off my lawn", but it's true.
Yeah, I'd never buy a jetski. My brother is the sailor. I love to sail around, but not as captain. Too much constant fussing. I'm actually in the market for one of these. We vacation on Lake Superior, and it's the smallest boat you can get that you can call sea worthy. I just want something I can tool around in, and pull up on the beach at the end of the day.
"Pull up on the beach at the end of the day" is key.
Taking a dock and a boat launch in and out every year is kind of a pain. You've seen our set-up, we just have the pontoon boat, which is all I'd ever want anyways, but it requires the lift. -A giant floating couch basically. But, we can get it going quick enough to pull skiers and tubes. Fun.
I agree. Way more "fun", no doubt about it. We have a Hobie Cat at our family's cottage. edit: sans mirage drive -of course. that looks pretty bad ass.
Absolutely. My grandfather always asked someone to fetch his shotgun when they showed up. They are crazy annoying. Fun on big waves though.Jet skis are like drum sets.
