Jet ski

Stand-up skis, wakeboarding and rides before work

A stand-up jet ski is an honest balance trainer: one mistake and you are in the water. I ride from early spring to October, usually before work: “in the wetsuit at 7:00, an hour on the water, then into town.”

Stand-up: Yamaha SuperJet
Sit-down: Yamaha FX SHO, the 300+ kg “baby elephant”
Season: down to 14 °C — all systems go
2024 goal: a 180° turn on the stand-up — done
