βI hit the throttle modestly but was nevertheless βblown awayβ by the rapidity at which my jet ski jumped up on plane; I was glad that I was holding on to the handlebars tightly. The excitement of finally speeding down the shoreline at over 30-mph quickly erased the many doubts that had been circulating in and out of my mind the past few months. [...] I opened up the throttle for the first time and had the sensation of flying low as I reached 47 mph. Had it not been for my hood with full face covering, my aging cheeks would certainly have been slapping my ears as they fluttered in the stiff breeze created by the high speed run.β
βMy nephew was begging me all week to go with him on the jet ski. I was very apprehensive, given that he's still new to it and I'd never been on one before. But it did seem like fun and eventually I did ask him to take me. He went fast and took us over our wake and we caught some air a few times. I really enjoyed it, but I did ask to be done sooner than he wanted to be. I was exhausted from clamping my thighs on the damn thing and scream laughing haha.β
βHi, I tried jetski yesterday for $115/H. And it was so fun and stressful. When I got on, I couldn't balance it and I was aggressively turning from left to right and the owner was "he can't handle driving jetski", first 10 min I was leaving how to drive it and it was very stressful. Later I got good and I was driving. The max speed I got was 45 mph!! I think it's pretty good as the first time?? [...] While like 30minute of driving, I had really pain in the hands of holding it, as well as in the arms and I had to take breaks.β
βTo best describe the experience. I said it was better than the best ride at Disney World. [...] I was amazed at the speed and maneuverability of these modern jetskis. I had not been on a jetski in over 20 years. Bob stood on his ski most of the trip. I felt more comfortable sitting, while bringing my center of gravity down.β
βI still canβt stop thinking about it. It was such a fun experience and it makes me want one! I flipped it about 3 times trying to get the hang of it, but it was an exhilarating experience!!β
