Well I found out my other ski had a bad motor and the hull needed work so i traded my buddy for this hull and bought a motor from my other friend. She runs pretty good now. They are HARD to ride lol. I am getting better though.

lol it was like that when I bought it I was going to paint it but when its in the water the sun hits it and the paint changes color. Its 8 year old paint but in the water it looks new! I guarantee that wasn't a cheap paint job. I think I will leave it.

I've never riden a jetski they look like a blast.

They are! It takes ALOT of getting used to and ALOT of crashing to be able to ride it I still can bearly turn without falling over. Its like riding a skateboard on ice lol.
 
Nice score Brandon, congrats man! I always wanted to try the stand up skis. Is it even close to a motorcycle, or any other water sport for that matter?

Not at all lol. Sit down ones are like a bike but not these. I am decent on a bike I can't even turn this thing haha. Its most comparable to wake boarding I would guess... I have never wake boarded so I donno but I'm guessing that's what it would be like. I bet riding these is harder though. I can go straight all day and do long sweeping turns its the tight turns I have a problem with lol.

Just hang off and drag your knee. :hehe: Seriously though, I've always heard they're hard to get used to. But, once you do, you have so many more things you can do vs. a sit down.
 
Ya for sure. I had a blast today! Jumpin and getting better at turning.
 
I was watching a guy go totally underwater and rocket straight up on a standup last summer. I watched him for 30min and I was amazed how tight they could turn. I'm pry way to big to ride one at 6'6"250lbs I would look like a monkey humping a football. I've looked into renting one when I go up north to minocqua wi but they don't let them on the lake that I have a cabin.
 
You could ride a 750 I'm sure. My buddy is 6'1" 250 and he rides a 440 just fine. I'm 6'1" 170 so I guess it's about right for me lol.
