Much too close for towing, to start with. Secondly, PWC should remain at least 40m off, even though where I am regulation states it's a minimum of 50m away.
@MrBurntcracker I disagree. Its comon sense to stay away from other water craft and esspecialy people being towed. It was out of his own ignorance that he proceeded to come that close to the boat. He could have let off the throttle turned away from the wake or hell even powered through the wake. Either he was a complete rookie or just a ignorant dumbass. Either way there is no explanation for him being right behind the boat.
@MrBurntcracker he should definetly be insulted for wat he did. common sense tells you when you are approaching a person bein towed you should take caution ,let off the throttle and get the hell away. he coulda seriously hurt or killed that individual.
I see so many comments saying: turn the handle bars and full throttle that jet ski Idiot!!
Is there someone here that have a Jetski? The best thing to do if you see something bad coming is to release the acceleration command... 0_o Indeed you can Push it hard and turn the Handle bar... But at this distance, he was really stuck into the wave and it would may finish in a brutal colision with the Boat and the jetski... and maybe a wakesurfer between both....
Video: unless you deploy the breaks "ON NEW model waverunners" just letting go of the throttle will not be enough. on a waverunner or boat the best option to avoid collision is to power away. IE: turn the wheal/handles bars away from the object and power out. waverunners are highly agile and will turn at that distance. NOW im not saying go full blast, but a short burst of throttle will steer him away. in any circumstance it would be better to hit the boat.
@death25 Actually, the best thing to do is to not pull dumb shit like this to begin with. Not only is this dangerous, its illegal. You are not supposed to come within 150 feet of another moving craft.
@101andrewj, he's using a 3 foot tow rope so he can be in front of the wave created by the boat. It's just used to stand you up, then you can throw it in the boat and surf using the wake of the boat
First of all it's a wake not a wave dumbass, second you shouldn't be near a jet ski ever again. That's why accidents happen because people like you don't know how to ride safely.
wow rank amateurs all you had to do was gun it and turn away on jet ski and boat driver should have seen u coming. your all dumbasses or just uneducated
LMFAO im 100% sure everyone made him feel like a Fing jackass ... I would have cussed up a storm at him.... I was in the wave ; ; I was in the wave ; ; ME: STFU u shouldnt have been that close 2 begin with and if u dont know how to multi-task then dont do it !!
all that retarded driver needed to do was turn hard and squeeze the throttle...of corse you are going to hit the guy if you are aimed right at him and cut the power 5 feet away...dumbass
no the problem is you have to give it gas to steer and to somebody just learning hitting the gas when your about to hit something is the last thing you want to do. the should make them all ride in one corner of the lake so the can crash into each other
the guys who is driving the seadoo is obviously a noobe and you cant get caught in the wake he is just making srry ass excuses for his dumb ass mistake....he just kept going what a tard muffin
Hahaha what an idiot. Thats why we all have to pay for boaters licenses now. Pretty soon we'll have to pay for insurance for watercrafts because of goons like that.
why the fuck would you even be that close to a boat with someone behind it?! you got the whole fucking lake and yet you are 10 feet away from this 1 boat. idiots like you should not be allowed to operate a watercraft. cuz thats how people get killed. i could go on all day about shit like this cuz i see it every time i wakeboarding, surfing or slaloming.
this is why sit down skis should be illegal. they are too easy to ride and the rider doesnt pay attention.
First of all what a idiot. Dont this plenty of times filming never hit anybody. Your not suppose to ride in the wake STAY OUTSIDE THE WAKE. These boats are jet drive right now props or propellers right. So if he fell he would just have to worry bout hitting the sea doo.
You can't be serious? That is an inboard boat, the prop is at lease 5 feet from the back edge of the platform. I couldn't hit the prop with a jet pack on. Wakesurfing is the safest sport you can do on the water because you are going 9 mph. Think about that the next time you are spinning your grandkids around on tubes in the s-curves on 4th of July. Respectfully,
PS Agreed. Outboard wakesurfing is illegal and you will get hurt.
For the record - I was born in Chicago and spent most of my life in Tampa Florida but I will agree there are some inbreds here but most are from West Virginia.
yea you guys are all dogging on the jet ski driver, obviously you haven't driven a jet ski, its pretty hard to get out when your in a wake and it was an accident you dick heads
If he wasn't that close, it woud've never happened. You're a stupid ass jetskier pissing people off. Jet skis are for stupid gays who try to show their virility by moving on their jet ski. Remember that: when you stand up on that crap, you look dumb...
even still, don't count on the wings. if you need to turn hit power, dont get in a situation where you Need to turn. going fast on the water with no brakes is not safe. all pwc riders should understand
LOL! We have to take Certification tests in Canada...but there are no questions on General 'dumb-ass-ness'. A questionnaire wouldn't have helped him!?!
hells yah i do that in the ocean and its so fun but 1 time i reversed it to much and i couoldn't even see the seedoo and it shot of the water in the air it was sick ;)
Oddly enough dwayne, an oddly large number of the people from Smith Mountain Lake are from Jersey or New York. So how about you know what you're talking about before you make retarded insults.
Joey, you can't rip it over when you're right there. At that point, ripping it over would have shot him into the rider, even if he had the handles turned. Don't be stupid.
There's a big difference between driving a jetski and driving while filming. Everyone should just be thankful no one was hurt.
Yeah real easy when you got a camera in one hand. Probably should have some one else drive when filming from that angle. Just more proof that wake surfing is one of the safest water sports you can do.
