When
I got my 1988 SurfJet a little over a year ago, I thought it was the coolest
toy out there. The SurfJet is basically a surfboard with an outboard motor
attached to the back. It pushes you through the water with a fire engine
pump. You laugh but it gets me all the ladies. During the summer, I take
it out any chance I get. Whenever I go, I always draw a crowd. People stop
what they are doing to see what exactly it is I’m riding. From far
away, people tell me I look like I’m walking on the water. When I
pull it up on the beach, I get all the questions: What is it? Is it easy
to ride? How fast does it go? It’s really easy; my girlfriend got
right up on the first time and she loves it. Everyone wants one but when
I tell them that they are no longer made, they are a little disappointed
but then I kept telling everyone that they are coming out with something
new – the PowerSki.
The PowerSki is the updated, high performance version of the SurfJet. Instead
of putting around in the wakes of boats, I’ll be passing them on the
PowerSki. The sleek look and high-speed maneuverability of the PowerSki
will make peoples’ jaws drop. When I first saw the PowerSki on the
Northeast PowerSki website, I was in awe; I definitely think that this is
the toy of the future. I couldn’t wait to see it at the Mid-Atlantic
Boat Show. When I showed up and saw it in person, I just said to myself
that this is one bad machine. I met Jim and George and they were just as
excited as I was about this board. They kindly invited me to the first testing
and I couldn’t wait to go. I had a huge smile on my face for the rest
of the weekend.
On Monday, when we got to the marina, we fired it up and I hopped on it
and took off. I jumped right up and went – it was so easy. It’s
a lot more stable compared to my outdated SurfJet. The PowerSki is twice
as fast as my SurfJet and it slices through the waves like a boat instead
of skipping on top like my SurfJet. The PowerSki carves through the water
like my snowboard does on a mountain. I felt like I could not flip this
thing over – the harder I turned, the more it grabbed. The engine
on the PowerSki reminds me of a chromed out Harley Davidson when compared
to my SurfJet that has about a lawn mower engine.
I think the PowerSki is the next generation of personal watercrafts. It’s
going to blow the JetSki business out of the water. All it takes is one
ride and you’re hooked. It’s really easy too for beginners and
as you get better, you can do more moves and tricks. I would definitely
recommend it to anyone that wants to have fun!
