Our First Test Ride

Byron wanted to buy two more jet skis for Hawaii so we bought a 2003 Yamaha and a 2003 Kawasaki. Its a 12 and 1300 model. These babies run fast as hell! They're a lot more dependable, stable and fast. We took the Yamaha out on the ocean. Its kinda trippy to know that you're riding above shark city! But its alright. We figure the waters back home in Alaska were just as bad with sharks...only difference: the water temperature. So its not that scary. It is different though...riding in the ocean in comparison to a lake. Very salty, choppy and you see a lot of things swimming under you.
