About how many hours of riding do you get in during the year?

last year I rode every weekend except 3 from mid march to the end of October. I have no idea how much actual ride time that ended up being but I usually burned 1-2 tanks an outing. This year I've hardly even made it out.... growing up blows.

Dang, I'm jealous. I don't think I've ever done 4x in a week.

I probably average once a week and burn a 2 hour tank in that time. I try for every Sunday and on occasion get in two or three times in a week if the waves are good. If it's flat I like to go dive though and I've got a few out of town weddings and other events on weekends to make up for.

100 hours would be my guess.

unless you have tiny tach to record run time then its hard to speculate

i tought i rode a ton.. then got a tiny tach n realized i barely ride at all...

Ive put on 15 hours so far this year... n i only rode like 30 hours total last year

My estimate seems high after doing some math with how many gallons of oil I use. Me and my girl use 5-6 gallons of oil combined for a year. Put me in at 60-70 hours.

0 so far. Moved from Alaska in the winter, left toys in Alaska (sold one to friend, other is taken apart in garage). Living in Houston temporarily and about to start remote field engineering across the "crappy states"(montana, wyoming, dakotas, iowa).

but after a few years of doing work and collecting that sweet sweet experience and money in the cold and barren wastelands, i will return to civilization and probably by a house in a hot sunny place and a jetski

Got my first SJ 8-1-2013 last ride was 9-21-2013. Used 576 oz's of oil mixed at 50:1 that's 44 tanks for fuel through it in 51 days. Let's say a tank got me 2 hours of ride time (flat water riding on the lake) that's 44 tanks of fuel at 2 hours per tank call it 88 hours hours of trigger time last season. Wow 220+ gallons for 91 burned up. Dam no wonder my gas bill was so high. Figures out to 1.725 hours per day over my 51 day season last year. Water is a about mid 50's right now have not been out yet this season as I do not have a wet suit.

I have been running a Tiny tach this season and I have a lot less time on the wb1 then I thought I would. Only have 3 hours of actually ride time for the season.

I put like 65 hours on my tiny tach last year. My ski started way late in the season. I'm sure I was close to 100 hours last year between my ski, and the other skis that I rode.
So far this season I'm at 40 hours. I'm hoping to hit 150ish hours.
I also mark on my calendar each time I ride. Last years goal was 100 rides, I only made it to 87. So far this year I'm at 28 rides I wonder how far I'll make it.
