Wetbike 1979 I was 11 years old we were a dealer for them, 1984 rode my first Standup Jetski, had blasters, couches and still have my 1987 440 and 550 and one 1989 440. Took my son at 5 on the 550 he just started riding one by himself at 12.

Sometime in the late 70's I rode a 440 or 550 at summer camp and it started the bug. Fast forward to ~1994 when I left the regular Army and bought a Seadoo XP and then a B1. Then a SN shortly after that. Stand ups and B1's ever since. Throw in a Kawi 12F for the wife but that was short lived.

And I'm 49 if I didn't have a wife, kid and mortgage I would love to buy a rickter and backflip one before I was 50

I'm with you. Two kids in college kind of takes up all your disposable income.

Started in 1989... JS440... age 11. Rebuilt it at 12, modified it at 13. Didn't start racing until my early 20s. Retired as a pro in 2005. Worked for/with many huge companies in this industry, most of which are no longer around. Learned a ton along the way from the top tuners. Still learning every day.
