Well Mr. Zippy lost his parachute sail. Not so cool now, huh, buddy? These people are hazards to navigation.

Fixing to escape for a few weeks!

On a 55' Hatteras (sport/fish) up and down the east coast,we used to call jet ski's "speed bumps".
I would trim the stern of the boat down so that at 6-10kts or so it would produce a 5ft wake (in the ICW). The jet ski people would follow us for miles jumping it. The surfers would get towed up behind by a jet ski,then ride the wake like a normal wave.
Tons of fun forking with these guys.
We made up cardboard signs with - -> 8.5,9.0,9.5,and 10.0 on them to hold up after a jump.
When we got tired of this we would trim bow down and accelerate to 22kts.
Great times back then. --- SAWMAN
