They're fun, but can be a fair bit of work. If you're in decent shape you could have fun. Alternatively, if you're out of shape and commit to riding one it could help you get into shape. It's bit like riding a dirt bike, but without a seat. It's not brutal if you're just cruising around, but you can never just chill and cruise around like you can on a sit down ski.
They’re a blast until you hit a sand bar in the Colorado river. Ask me how I know that you fly over the thing while hoping the bar is narrow and you’re going to land clear. Lol
Take the bow line and hook it around the mid-cleat. After launch just pull that line. The boat will float parallel to the dock allowing you to easily tie the boat stern then bow to the dock; always in that order.
I moved my boat to a rack storage marina and I couldn’t be happier! No more spending 3 hours at the ramp and dealing with the weekend warriors to take my boat out for a couple hours. I couldn’t take it anymore…
I've watched enough of these to say no one in Florida deserves a boat lol. My dad and I take his bass boat out every week on Texas lakes and NO ONE has this much trouble puttin' in or trailering their boats.
I dont know why the fish ski guys dont put guide poles on the trailer. I have a fishpro just like that. $60 for poles. the best money I ever spent. I can turn around in the drivers seat and stab that trailer in right where I want it the first time. the poles are also great if are loading with a lot of waves or wind.
Yup. I've backed 30+ foot boat trailers into my driveway with less effort than my little utility trailer. I won't even try to back a single ski trailer in unless I can see it out the back of the vehicle.
Certainly can be... I've backed trailers up without issue since I was a kid... Well into my 30s I tried backing up with one of those rental flood light trailers.. Smaller than a single pwc trailer.. What a pain in the ass
Or the top and turn it toward the side coming further into your mirror. Pick one and stick with it. However with the little guys the trick is to get straight and then back while moving the wheel 10-15 degrees to either side (back and forth) of straight u til you see the trailer in a mirror. Pull up A LITTLE to get it straight and repeat.
That's a real jet ski!
Them jet ski boys--brapp brapp!
I have always wanted to try the stand up jet ski. They look fun

How old is this footage? These ramps were re done a long time ago.

That happens all the ti,time, with jet skis speeding all the time in a no wake zone
Jet ski boy wasn't trying to get it back on plane, he was making failed attempts to show off for the camera.
Time for a Tesla Compilation????

backing up a narrow trailer is a pita.
Slow baby turns

Anyone that thinks backing a tiny trailer with a little pickup or car needs to try backing up a water buffalo behind a 5 ton M813 or similar.
At 5:30. the truck can't see his jet ski trailer, making impossible to back down.
Not at all impossible. Just requires a skill set he doesn’t have.
A tip for all the non backing up people out there. Put your hand on the bottom of the wheel and move your hand the way you want the trailer to go.

clearly the commentator doesn't understand a stand up jetski lol
Or maybe he understands that the operator could do what he's supposed to and drag through the water at low speed.
Boring..
