Into the Lake
Finally hit up the lake this weekend on the wave runners and had some fun.
We really don’t do too much except for gassing up, eating, 180 spins and going to the end of the lake and back. Really, its a good stress reliever and a way to kill a few ours.
If you have ever been on a wave runner or jet ski before, you probably know that wakes are what you look out for. Not to steer away from them, but into them. On the way back, I was just cruising along and noticed a pretty decent size wake…probably about 3 feet high. Knowing that this was probably the biggest wake that I have ever seen in my life, I squeezed the throttle and headed right towards its.
Within 5 seconds, it was me vs. the wake. Instead of jumping over it and pulling a gracious no footer or something, I went right through it. The water hit me like a wall and almost knocked me off. Besides getting an ear, mouth and nose full of polluted lake water, the front bumper and head pad came flying off.
I wasn’t hurt…just in shock. Here I was thinking that I was going to fly over the wake in slow motion for a photo finish and instead, I got owned…just floating, drenched and staring at the wave runner parts sitting on my lap.
Can’t wait to get back out there again!
