sketchy on a jet ski

I almost lose my jet ski in some big surf from hurricane sandy. waves were reported to be 20-23 feet with 50mph + winds. It was to windy to wave jump, look for my other videos I'm going to make when I go out tomorrow. (10/27/12)

[@hamzazoaoui]

Today was my first time riding a jet ski and weather condition was exactly like this .. angry water .. it was so hard to control especially when the big waves hit ... I choosed the worst time .. but didn't fell after all .. it was really scary cuz a guy was next to me got hit by a big wave .. and it wasn't easy going back to his jetski .. i took him to it .. cuz it got far from where he fell .. i learned my lesson lol never ride in conditions like this even tho is an adrenaline rush 🤙🏼

[@icecl0ud]

This guy reminds me of myself on a jetski! He is exactly as skilled as I am. Number of times I've been on a PWC: 2

[@Rrob2593]

Literally the worst jet ski driver in history. So many things wrong. Going sideways into waves, getting on wrong (should be getting on from the back, not the side or you risk flipping it again), full throttle into waves (hence why you nearly did a backflip, let off the throttle as soon as you're about to go over it). Silly man, you really shouldn't go out in those conditions when you're that inexperienced.

[@DomBeal57]

be quiet bing bong

[@MyNameisStorm]

Completely right. Go at the waves on a angle, not straight on.

[@Rrob2593]

[@patefutch6168]

Wow!!! As a legit semi pro surfer as well as a fisherman and boat enthusiast I can assure you this man has NO BUSINESS on a a watercraft much less in these conditions

[@aintskeered8248]

Agreed! 1) That’s nowhere even close to 20 ft surf or he and/or his PWC would likely be dead. That’s maybe 6’ surf. 2) NEVER do that alone. 3) Never do that, unless you’re an extremely-experienced surfer/swimmer. 4) Your video is irresponsible. Because, as dangerous as it appears, it does NOT suffiently-reveal the true danger for the average PWC enthusiast.

[@raymondbordonaro7408]

I agree 1000%. He had no idea what he was doing. Hell he rolled the thing cause he took a wave from the side. What an idiot.

[@whitey6317]

@@aintskeered8248 I grew up on the bay. I have 3 skis, and Ive won more surfing competitions than I can count. That was not dangerous at all. You are right the swells were no where close to 25ft, because those waves broke miles out on the first sand bar, but trust me during sandy I caught some triple over head swells. This guy was just fucking around having a good time, hes obviously a strong enough swimmer to grab his ski if he fell off, since he literally showed us in the video. He also knows how to it a wave to jump pretty clean, so he has much more experience than you fucking stuck up faggots give him credit for. Yall two are the worst type of people on the internet. Just cause your local news channel and fucking kooks talk about how dangerous is is doesn't mean us savages aren't fulling sending. pussys

[@TheMW2informer]

@@aintskeered8248 it’s still his choice and it looked like he was up for a challenge. Also people love to say how they are more experienced and how others shouldn’t even be on a watercraft at all but never say exactly what it is the person is doing wrong technique wise or why they say those things.

[@brandonfriesen5389]

This guy has a deathwish. I get super nervous when I'm skiing on a lake and see a storm approaching. Couldn't imagine the terror in this while alone in a hurricane. That waterbox was sure doing a good job on this seadoo.

[@goutvols103]

The rider should give a shout out to the make and model of the jet ski. For sure, without the motor restarting it could have been an issue but the jet ski proves that it is waterproof. Good footage of what it was like out there.

Thats some scary shit bro! Glad u made it back.

[@regulardude2011]

Been in similar conditions. It pretty scary on a jet ski. I was heading straight into waves and got completely covered by the following wave. At that point I turned around and headed in. Later I learned to take waves at 45 degrees vs 90. Much much safer! Glad you made it okay!

[@erikkpritchard]

As a long time boater (new to PWCs), the wave wisdom is just what you said: don't hit the wave head on, hit it at an angle. I've heard it called "quartering".

[@16amel]

need to learn the waves man

[@BJBoy92]

StayLifted420 absolutely mate, I have 4 years of experience out in the surf and I never go out there by myself, even now. He took waves side on, and going back into shore tried to go over a messy break. In calm conditions capsizing isn't the worst thing that could happen but this surf is unpredictable and powerful. I have taken beginners out there a fair bit and 4 out of 6 times they capsized purely from not understanding the surf and momentary lapse of awareness. You were lucky.

[@slickwilly6868]

BJBoy92 what's the best way to ride the waves on jet skis? Whether waves from the wind or waves from busy boat traffic

[@wankerwithawankel]

SlickWilly head straight into them, you Never want to catch a wave broadside.

[@chris-mv9ym]

[@barrysargent1213]

They are a wonderful wee crafts, able to take huge seas. If ridden correctly, able to make it through a massive sea! In conditions like this you should adorn a helmet, it only takes one good bash in the face from the ski and she's all over Freddy!! 😊

C ... ... not sure was C is but I am curious as to what you were riding as I have been researching jet skis. And D) please wear a god damn helmet next time eh if you weren't :) Thanks for posting though pretty epic what these machines can handle. I think exploring by jet ski would be serious fun, and of course involve beaching them in some serious breakers and such. Very curious as to how they handle in these types of conditions, as well asl chop, rivers and so forth. Thanks for the chuckles glad you made it safe and sound impressive work !

My first time ever jet skiing i got sent into these sorts of waters by the instructor, he clearly disliked our group as we are young lads so he shot off at 50kmh in these waters and we had to keep up having never jet skied before. by some miracle we kept up and none of us died. still one of the most scary things being in the middle of the sea having never jet skied, having to control that thing at 50kmh on waves the same if not bigger than this, but also thankful for it as it was one hell of an experience
