Crazy idea

fun to watch, couldn't pay me enough to do it.

Wow, see, I'm looking for how I can "pay my way to do it".

I've been mulling the Waverunner idea around for a couple years since watching some guys near the Gulf and another out in Hawaii on YouTube.. But I couldn't find any of my friends that would venture out with me. Now that I know others are as crazy as I am, and live in the same state... I'm looking into it again.

We'll see, hopefully my wife doesn't get our money's worth out of the life insurance policy.

Does anyone know a place that rents waverunners, around tuna season?

When I rented one in San Diego last year, there was a specific provision that you could NOT take them out of the harbor unless it was on a group tour...    So make sure you check that if you do find a rental place!

I think this was said in jest and certainly not to rain on the kayak angling parade but if you have a policy, you might want to check if kayaking is an exemption like sky-diving is on some policies.   

Of course a gopro with a floatie would probably be more valuable to your wife than any insurance policy if they recovered it after an Orca or the "landlord" eats Ya.

Yes, I was joking. I do not want to die. But if I did, I want my kids to proudly tell their friends that their daddy got eaten by a shark rather than something else. (Plus my wife's next husband would never, ever, be as cool in their eyes)

Funny enough, I purposefully checked with my policy holder, just last year, and kayaking is not an exemption. I do not know about the PWC.

Thanks for the heads-up!

im no engineer, but i think that mirage and propel work because they can move alot of water.  I dont know how you could do that efficiently with a man powered jet.  A better option might be to fond a way to mount the mirage horozontally...out back.

I think a better way would be to use a paddle in shallow or weedy water.
