A long time ago, in a country far, far away (Mexico), I boarded a PWC and hit the waves with my little brother and father on their own PWC. I had ridden these machines before and felt comfortable doing all the sort of hot-boi shit you do when you're 18 to 19 years old.
There were full-throttle blasts, tight turns, and some hot doggin' that you can only get away with when you're in your late teens to early twenties. That said, at one point, I decided to jump a wake that was created by a mid-size cruise ship. It was, and still is, very dumb. Yet, I escaped injury and humiliation by landing hard but not capsizing the whole thing. My dad and brother, however, weren't so lucky.
Apparently, my dad told my brother "If Jonathon can do it, we can too." That's a terrible motto to live by, as I make incredibly questionable decisions and continue to do so. Why am I telling you this story, you ask? Because Kawasaki has an all-new stand-up Jet Ski model, and even I think it'd be a bad idea to hand me the keys to it.
Seriously, I'd probably die.
