who says sit down jetskis are boring?

[mustangjoe87]

I didnt say I could do flips, just said I could get just as much air

Your argument is flawed, you need some serious wake to get a couch out of the water anywhere near what a ski can do on flat or little wake.

Granted these are well modded freestyle boats, but even a stock stand up can get in the air on flat water just by bouncing your legs. Do that with a sit down.

You can pump a sit down just as much as a stand up with little or no wake...do it all the time it just looks different cause you can throw your weight around more on a stand up

That thing looks pretty sweet.... But damn, I gotta ask... Who painted that? lol they were definitly generous with the clear!

My brother and I bought the clear a few years ago $300 for it so we used it. My buddy painted the skis for $400/each.

You can do a flat water barrel roll on a stock stand up if you're good. You can't do that on a sit down.

You can all compromise and get Sea Doo HX's.


Makes me want to get out there and ride!!

Cool. The ride plate is STILL only 6" off the water.

I used to ride an XP too Kovac...although mine was a tad newer. It was fun for a sit down (although i've never ridden a stand up). I rode Lake St. Clair right by Belle Mare harbor (next to SANGB) where we kept it. Some of those yahcts gave off a real nice wake....

Anywho, this is a cool thread...im digg'n the stand ups!
