Yea i worked on the beach for years on the Gulf down here and we used to get some huge air on the rental skiis.
Some of the most fun i had was back in the late 80s windsurfing on the days that it was to rough to parasail in.The guys running the skiis could barely keep up with us windsurfers and we would all try to see who could out jump each other.God it was fun back then.Believe it or not we could outrun the skiis most of the time but that was back in the day of the old 550 Yamaha sitdowns.
I have access to the skiis anytime but the new heavy skiis will kick your azz these days. Just to much weight to them, they control you on the landings and will fling you where ever they choose.
