While riding I was approached very closely by a couple of boats. Like most boaters at the time, they had no clue about the 150ft rule.

And they do now? Haha most boaters dont obey the safe passage law on the lake. This summer with my gopro i'm going to film All of it.

Can those things take any decent wake? It looks like that ski would catch and flip you over the bars.

Yes they can You useally slow down or ride off the wake.

Wetbikes ride like a motorcycle when on plan, Has nothing in common with regular jetski's except they both are in the water.
