I'm sure there will be some council bullshit law that you can't ride waves on them here.....??
If you’re going fast on choppy water, IMO it’s a lot more physically demanding than moto. Unbelievable but true. The only thing is, it can get repetitive after the novelty wears off. Especially if you have nobody to ride with.

Stand up jet skis are fun, but not nearly as fun as moto imo
I really wanna try I superjet, I’ve herd they are light years better handling.. but for now I’ll stick with my wave blaster. It’s very much like a dirt bike on the water. U can drag the bars cornering, really good on surf or wake jumps.
Fixed-handlebar boats like the Wave Blaster or X2 are my favorite.
Pit Row
Set up a few markers and race around like a circuit, it’s a hardcore workout!
There was a series here called the Busch World Cup that attracted every top caliber guy from around the country. Former pro MXer Eric Yarnell won the 93 (If I remember correctly) expert title. His cup is still in my MX workshop today. It holds up the wifi router! Some of my most fun racing days ever were during that era... plus, bikinis!
Now, "watercraft" racing involves a few hundred guys from Miami on sit down personal barges running buoy courses at 70mph +. Not really exciting, just my opinion.
And like everyone else says, its a huge workout. Learning to ride a stand-up is hard enough initially, but then taking it into the demanding surf, hitting waves and trying to link them together to make big doubles and rhythm sections through the inlets near islands, and the fact that you cant really stop riding a stand up or you'll sink (or have to float in the water next to it in shark filled waters) for a few hours is a really intense and non-stop workout. Loved it! Awesome with a group of mates who have them too, it becomes just like an MX track day. Lots of shit talking and pushing each other.
Sold mine a couple of years ago as I didn't have room to store it once I moved into the city... but will def grab another one when I move back out of here soon.
Nothing like your dirtbike in the back of the ute, swag on the roof, and stand up jetski on the trailer heading away for a weekend!
Superjet Freeride
I love it, Have no one else that’s any good to ride motos with. Takes a lot of practice to rail corners on these things. Most people just fall over lol
I’ve chased and dude on a 260 hp seadoo before and that’s a crazy workout and challenge!
