Used to dabble with these about 15 years ago. nothing that big, powerful or fast though. Some mates & I used to go to Fosse Hill regularly, but the best I rode was at Rother Valley when the owner let me have a play on his tricked up race Kawasaki X2. I was cornering with my helmet hitting the water to the side flat out until I got it wrong and flipped it, flying over 30 feet from it Only played about with beach rentals on holiday since

I think Al was into these when he was posted in Cyprus.

Ahhh the memories... Owned a Yamaha GP for 3 years...... bought it in the first week of my posting and setup a club on a private part of the beach at RAF Akrotiri and Episkopi with our own track...

Used it pretty much full time and got quite good at trick riding and wave jumping (winter months).. used to race against the Cypriots in a Limassol based league too...

Never had so much fun....

Nice ski's those SeaDoo's, I had a XP Ltd a few years ago, fast as f... & cornered like it was on rail's.
Then moved on to stand up's, Kaw 750 SXI with a few tick bits & then the daddy a Yam Superjet built to freestyle spec with all Wamilton parts, was built for the World Freestyle Cham Eric Malone when I was in the UK to do his displays on, as fast as a sit on ski but no seat !!!
I was no way near his level but good at submerine in it & falling off.
Great fun.
