Ode to a Jet-Ski person

Jet-ski person, selfish fink.
May your silly jet-ski sink.
May you hit a pile of rocks,
Oh hoonish summer coastal pox
Noisy smoking d!ckhead fool,
On your loathsome leisure tool,
Give us all a jolly lark
And sink beside a hungry shark

Scream as in it’s fangs you go
Your last attention-seeking show
While on the beach we all join in
With “three cheers for the dorsal fin”

Looked like the surf was going off! Paddling in on a surfboard would have been cool.

Burning oil to ride waves seems wrong to me..... I'm not a fan of jetskis - they are noisey, smelly and must frighten or kill sealife.

So why don't you take your post, claim and photos and stick them on a jetski forum - so all the ****ers that ride them can think you're a hero.

Most people who kite I'd imagine like the freedom and the at one with nature and the elements that you feel. Can't imagine you get that on a jetski?

p.s. Michael Luenig is my hero!

Sorry Nick, but I have to agree with the other guys. Can't imagine what you hoped to achieve by posting these in a kitesurfing forum? I think you'll find that most of the guys who are into wind sports actually hate the things. I know I do [}:)]

the surf WAS going off, we were paddle surfing it all morning. i have a jetski so when it gets big enough we can tow-in, probably while you sit on the beach and watch it! which isnt that often so obviously im going to use it between swells. and NO you dont get the "freedom" feeling with a jetski, its a whole different feeling that you wouldnt know about because you have probably never been on one! i get the "freedom" feeling every time i go kiting but it cant be windy all the time! i posted it on here to show my KITING mates, you dont have to read it! if you dont like it read another post you do wanna read!!

i think they are great pics,
all you guys saying jetskis are killing and scaring marine life....do you drive a car to the beach? Do you ride kites and boards made out of petroleum products?
Do your used kites and boards end up as landfill one day?
Just because we use the wind doesn't mean our sport is super green.

Are motorcycles banned in national parks?? WTF. how come?
Some douche bag in government i guess. Why not ban all v8, or turbo charged cars?
Stupid idea to me it seems.

Here is a barrell roll on a jet ski in a more critical section of the wave

I like luenig but I can't bag a jet ski; I've seen them do too many rescues in Hawaii when nothing else could.

Thats is so sick.
Whats it like to be the 1st to do something? and 1st in the whole wide world. SICK!

Not only have you rocked the Mambo with a 3rd place 1st try. I often hear on the beach from complete stranges that your a dam good surfer and tow surfer and now your doing world 1st stuff on skis.
Way to go! Macca

As for the other little peoples post. Personally I don't have a problem with power craft as my kites and boards are not made in an eviromentally friendly manner. Not to mention how surf boards are made and how many of them exist in the world. Along with driving my car to the beach, the TV I watch, computers, ipods, chairs etc etc So I would not be one to make comments like that. But some people think its cool to be a greeny in thier own backyard but sh!t in other peoples like China.
They must just be green with envy

Because the totally fk up the trails/paths! Plus it's hell dangerous hiking through the park and coming face to face with some spanner on a trail bike travelling at warp speed through blind corners.

Yeh I drive a car (not a guzzling 4WD) to the beach - but not onto the beach or into the ocean where marine life generally lives.

Show some respect to dolphins, turtles down to the lesser creatures by leaving the jetski in the showroom.

Yeh kites and boards are made from petroleum products and for sure it isn't a super green sport, but it is at the other end of an environmental scale to a jetski.

It would be good for future generations of people to have some raw materials on the planet. Oil is a finite resource and burning it up to do some kooky thing on a wave is for red necks!

Hey, where did my post go? What's going on??It's what I say EVERYTIME a ****er on a jetski turns up trying to outjump me at my local beach. It's what I say when I'm having a surf and hero's start towing in on 6ft waves, it's what I say when I smell the pieces of ****. It's what I think when I'm on the beach relaxing with my family and here come the water bogans to do burnouts on the sea. Got nothing to do with being green, sort of like someone teararseing around a footy field on at KTM360 while 36 blokes are trying to play footy.

Dolphins? who knows but they do kill and mame innocent swimmers. Probably not when in your skilled hands or the hands of that tow in guy video but 90% of riders just have NO IDEA. Now they'll go and buy that mag and start trying **** like that right in front of me and everyone else trying to have a PEACEFULL time at the BEACH.

I hate jetskis, they suck. Well done you did a flip, how exciting for you. I've ridden one too and got over it in 20mins.

"I just thought I'd post my reply to your jetski pics" [}:)]

after all that's why you posted them here...

And cars dont? I dont think motorcycles make massive corrugations. And car drivers in the wrx's could treat the place as a world raley circuit? Driving on the track to wedge last week i saw tons of cars tearing around.The trail bike riders on the track we passed were giong slower than the majority of cars(werent at the limestoney rocky bit yet)(not a national park, but still the same princapal)
I think i may have taken it out of context though. I asssumed it ment on bitchumen roads, and road bikes.But on single tracks, barely wide enough for walkers thats a good thing.If you mean big dirt roads, thats what my bigger paragrpah is about.

GO MACA nothing but suport from the AKRM BOYS , ive been kiting with this kid for just over a year, and seen this kid progress faster than anyone ive ever seen in the waves before , he was seen at MAMBO doing what he luvs best, beeing in the water, this kid is an inavater not a follower,and was seen riding a fish with no fin no straps in hardly any wind throwing 360 frontside and backside shovets,also doing deliveryboy transitions and even atempting kick flips off waves henz his therd place in mens open. I have been lucky enough to go TOWSURFING with MACA many times, and in the last swell he towed be me into some bombs. The funny thing is that MACAS main passion is kitesurfing and surfing, it was just buy chance a person from jetpilot seen some pics off MACA, and offered him a sponcership, the photos were sent to a jetski mag and now thay what to do a front cover. This kid is talented and willbe someone to keep an eye on no matter what watersports hes doing. And to all those greeny out there, walk to work, and when the wind goes offshore and your kite drops out off the sky, there will be no jetski or boat support, thats KARMA for ya FROM ALL THE BOYS AT AKRM keep pushen the limits MACA. The tricks called the MACAMOTION. MRWHITE AKRM.

If you want to claim the barrellrolling of a 3 seater jetski,
you need to find 2 more kooks to make up the numbers.
