Yep that was the one, I just can’t find the vid how mental is that.. I’ve done the jet blast a couple of times, 1st time I was hanging on the fence 2nd time, just stayed on the beach & got totally sand blasted, now that one really hurt.

Now I stand just to one side of the engine blast and watch everybody else suffer

Standing to the side does sound better! Do you put anything in your ears? That has to be loud!

Nope, that’s part of the wow factor, not X factor...

it’s the whole thing you’ve got to experience. You only do it once, well I don’t. That’s why I think the Sint Maarten airport is soooooo famous

Chip have you done anything like that or anything that’s got the wow factor?

For 10 years+ I have been into high performance jet skis which I ride on Puget Sound. For the last three years I have owned one just like in this picture. Its a heavy craft with a deep v hull that can cruise over or crush through rough water at high rates of speed. Immense acceleration = ginormous WOW factor!

Now that looks very cool, I’ve only been on a jet ski while in Sint Maarten, just the run of the mill ones, nothing fancy like yours

I rented a jet ski in the Carribean many years ago and that was one of the WOW experiences that got me hooked!

This looks like another great place to watch low flying jets and fly drones. Porky, you could meet up with Old Man Mavic! How far are you from the Mach Loop?

hi Chip its quite a long way from where i live and probably a restricted area for drone flying because of the use of the airspace its like Sennybridge thats MOD land and off limits which is a shame as the views are breathtaking but you would be alright with a hand held camera

@Chip in his swimming pool

That looks like fun but real surf is better! Often some guy getting in the way with a drone though. Much more dangerous than a bird strike in these conditions...

Jet skiing is just like dirt bike riding which I loved as a kid.

Very cool! No, not myself! That is a professional stunt rider with special equipment. Probably more difficult than it looks.

I’ve seen them, great idea, I posted a link to someone about the same thing. He was asking about some sort of float and recovery for his drone so I linked him that

Madness, I already knew the video. But it is always impressive.
