Morons on sitdowns

So there I was jumping wakes on da riva coming down from about 12 feet in the air, and this f ing moron on a F ing sitdown blindsides me. Now I have a big hole in the side of my 04 superjet and a big hole in my head. We are the guys that do this every weekend and weekday when time permits. If you spend ten minutes on the river you will be able to see what is going on. F ing sitdowns, these guys come out once in awhile and always cause damage. Oh yeah the guy also had his daughter on the back of the ski, and he was holding my lanyard. When I woke up face down in the water I looked up and saw him riding around about 15-20 feet away from me, and my first thought was how long was I knocked out and why this fing moron was not in the water trying to help me. Can you believe that the guy gave me the wrong address and a disconnected phone #??? I could have died. 26 stitches, a Catscan, and some pain killers. F ing sitdowns ruining one standup at a time. Now I have this huge scar on my forehead and somebody is going to pay. TOO MANY MORONS WITH TOO MUCH POWER AND NO BRAKES. I WILL BE BACK AND I WILL CONTINUE TO GO BIG.

12' is possible of a cruiser wake - that's how I snapped my leg at Lanier! I stay way the hell clear of couches - I won't share a wake with one, even when it's my wife making me a wake in my boat. Too much risk.

I can't believe that idiot gave you fake info - he knew he was liable.

Always call the cops, just like an auto wreck.
Get his Reg # off the ski. Not sure about other states, but in GA all the the registered boats are listed by county on a DNR website. Maybe you can look him up somehow?
Post up pics of the damage

Dude I can't believe you'd take his number and address only. Did you get his tags off the jet ski? Maybe you were delirious but that's a crazy story.

You could of called the cops but I bet that he would of sided with the coucher because you were doing something that they consider wreckless.

Lets see the holes.

worst part is that we lost a rider about a month ago to a similar incident only it involved a boat and unfortunately the driver never stopped. probably could have saved his life and it only would have cost him a ticket and a fine.

It's the same anywhere you are AND whatever your activity is. There are idiots on mountain bikes, there are idiots on golf coarses.
There are idiots on PWC's.
To me it seems there are significantly fewer idiots on "stand-up" ski's because of the skill level reqired compared to a couch. It's just the plain truth.
Even if a stand-up rider starts out as an idiot, that rider, if he/she keeps at it, will develop courtesy and knowledge, be more able to recognize potentially dangerous situations etc....

I don't hate couches. But It rubs me wrong when somebody puts someone else in danger...not by accident, but by stupidity. No matter what the activity.

Thanks for the input and well wishes I am not looking for pitty, I was just bummed sitting here thinking about it when the mailman showed up with the bill from the ER. Lets just say I could buy a small condo in vegas for the price of this bill. Oh yeah I had a police report written up and my lawyer has his P.I. finding the guy. I am still in some pain and sleeping is a thing of the past. The officers know that we are the guys that help out the confused boaters when they get ropes caught in there props, or the really smart ones that cant load there boat on a trailer alone, we also tow in the kids that show up with junk and float away. Great site you guys rule. Surfer smurf you are right on point there is an ass whoopin in line for sure. Jack asses + alchohol + too much power = blood and fibreglass. Pics to follow.

Exactly why I didn't cop the water cops two years ago when I was run over by a ski boat. I had just jumped a wake and was in the "coming out of the hole" stage when a little outboard ski boat pulling a tuber not watching what he was doing plowed into me. Luckily I saw him coming in enough time to jump backwards off my ski and provide him with a glancing blow instead of a direct hit. Broke a couple ribs and a finger and knocked the wind out of me good along with smashing a nice hole in my hood and crack in my ski. I knew that any witnesses would have said that I had just jumped a wake and the cops would've sided with the boater, so I let it go.

Now I only jump cruiser wakes if I've checked multiple times for any other boat or couch traffic and there is none.
