Yeah........I don't think any of us would enjoy powerboating out there today!

I have been out in 12-15ft on my jet ski hoping to jump them like when they are 6-8s...not the case. the waves are so wide at the base that all you do is drive up and down them. At the bottom you loose complete sight of land!!!
