Do they sell an electric version?
What about diesel?

Hey Paddy, yes I want one! Have PM my delivery address to you! When can I expect to get it?

Well that took a long time to take off..........

I had a ride on something kinda similar at City Beach in the late 1960s

Cant give you tech. spec's though- I was pre-kindy at the time.

Dad and his cohorts in the surf club most likely cobbled it up over a keg or two.
I have a vague idea it was a plywood longboard [hollow], and remember my Dad, Mickle and others taking a few of us tackers for rides.

There is no place for anything like this at a surf spot. Full stop.

Kai, lost a lot of respect.

Jamie obrien, you kidding mate, hope the cheques in the mail.

Best quote " you have to know your right times on the wave to do a trick..if you wanna go faster to hit a jump. broooom this is it"

LOL feel the love




I reckon it looks good, way better than the 20 other variations of this theme - smaller, lighter, more like surfing. Powerful for a tiny motor. Only for use with no-one in earshot tho.

Some of you guys have zero going on upstairs.

Do you think some surfing professional will be winning events in this - I don't think so. They use surfboards's

If my back was any good I would own one in a heartbeat. It look's wicked.
The only reason I never took up surfing was the whole dangling my legs in the water and swimming out to a good set.

That's cool your a queenslander ai.

Nah I think you should get one, head out to snapper, you'll get heaps of wave.
Do it i the morning when it's nice and calm and the water is smooth so it doesn't hurt your knees.

I just spoke with my Dad,
The board at City Beach was designed and built by one of the City Beach Surf Life Saving Club members [ nicknamed "Budgie"] who was an engineer at the University of W.A.

As the bloke lives in Triggs [we think], someone here might know him- if you are interested in salvaging old history- P.M. me to confirm his name.

Dad reckons it was great fun- but it had a habit of taking in water through the air inlet and messing with the engine.
Not sure if that problem ever got solved.

Was it more annoying because they were lebs? Or are lebs known to be particularly bad jet-ski riders in your area?

I never said they were bad riders, they were riding awesome. About as awesome as the dudes in that vid.

And was kind of inspired that people of all colours were saying 'this is not our australia' (as well as 'shutup you racist btch' and I guess the casual "them & us" attitude rubbed me the wrong way. I mean are they from Lebanon? Did they flash a birth certificate on the way past? Or do they just have dark features. Where they born here do you think, wouldn't that make them aussies not lebs, chows or whatever? "Fkwit jet skiers" would have painted the picture.

I understand your sentiments but I don't make any apologies, they were lebs as much as I'm a skippy. They would not have been insulted by being called lebs so don't be insulted and over sensitive on Thier behalf. In the bay they are all of a certain ethnic back ground just the reality.

How soon we forget.

It surprises me we don't see this more often, or swimmers run over, as the average IQ of the jetski drivers at Botany seems to be around about their shoe size

Yeah, I felt like I was playing chicken with three of them a few weeks ago. They have no idea, the last one only pulled off 15-20m from me after his friend yelled at him to give way... Wind was light and I didn't want to lose ground so I was trying to hold my line...

p.s. the Jet Surf looks awesome... until the dip sh!t crew who will inevitably buy them come along and drive like, well, dip sh!ts...

Speaking in his Bugle podcast, uploaded yesterday, Oliver described Australia as “a coastal paradise surrounding a rocky hell”. He said: “Australia turns out to be a sensational place, albeit one of the most comfortably racist places I've ever been in. They've really settled into their intolerance like an old resentful slipper.
“You can say what you like about Australian racism, it is undeniably specific. I had a couple of Australians – more than one – complain to me about all the 'Lebbos' in the country, referring apparently to the Lebanese. Who the **** is annoyed by Lebanese people?
“In a way you have to admire the attention to detail. Not just all those Arabs, but the Lebanese. That's like saying 'You know who I can't stand? Sri Lankans. Malaysians not a problem.Bangladeshis, lovely people, but Sri Lankans – I've got no time for them, Jose.'
“How many Lebanese people can there actually be in Australia? There's only just over four million of these people in ****ing Lebanon.
“The one thing Australia cannot argue is: there's no room here in this country because that land is ****ing gigantic. That aside, fantastic place, can't wait to go back.”
