Great action shot.

Fabulous action capture and scene. I will never understand what is supposed to be so great about this mode of transport on water ;-)

Looks like a lot of fun!

Great action. It’s a shame that the jet skiers that come to this area are so disrespectful of the laws of the sea spoiling the fun for others.

Awesome action!

Super action shot. It looks great fun

Give me a kayak or a paddle board and I'm dead happy, so yes, I agree with Water Rat. Not too sure about a jet ski, although it looks like a thrilling experience.

Super wake behind the ski, and an interesting peek at the dwellings and houses on the other side. It looks pretty steep up there.

So true

Got quote for the title… nice sense of speed in this shot.

Good action shot

I'll certainly take your word, and Kenneth Grahame's word for it. But this does look like fun

How about sky diving or glider flying? I hope you enjoyed a day on the water.

I'm not sure I agree with Water Rat

Great action shot!

A different quote: a friend had a shirt that said "A boat is a hole in the water you our money into." In our experience with our son, so true.

And another quote:
The two best days of the owning a boat experience are the day you buy it and the day you sell it!

Thanks for the much appreciated comments. I once owned a ski boat but I’ve never actually been on a jet ski.

I have actually been up in a glider (not hand glider) and lived that experience. Jet skiing doesn’t appeal at all.

I’m with you Karen. Hey skiing looks noisy and bumpy. Not for me.

@wakelys
Thanks. The jet ski crowd around Sydney don’t seem to be too bad with noise pollution or dangerous driving. 😀😀😀

Diana. It’s not my thing either. I’ve never ridden on one. Although some if the local life savers sometimes use them at some beaches.

Great capture.

How relaxing!🫨

Thanks. The boy on the back looked like he was having a great time (as he most likely was!)

The speed might even lure Mr Toad off the road...
They are fun to ride, if a tad antisocial!
Did you enjoy the gliding?
