Watersports

I went Jetskiing for the first time in my life the other day. I didn't realise how much fun I was missing out on, these beasts were pretty powerful.

The inflatable donut/hang-on-for-your-life thing is quite a laugh too. Not so funny when you're hanging off the back of it whilst being catapulted 10feet in the air just to come slapping back down to the water on your genitals

ooouch. Whats the one where you use a kite and a board to hurl through the water?

me...

Wakeboarding?

The jetskiing looks like loads of fun btw.

Kitesurfing

That looks like it was somewhere rather warmer than Derbyshire unless it has just had a heatwave? Quick hint though, when attempting to land in the water after falling off the donut don't thrust with your groin and the water/genital impact should be much reduced.

Looks like loads of fun though, I've still got to try jet-skiing at some point.

A quick google would suggest you are correct!

You are incorrect

It wasn't quite a donut, hard to describe, it's like a big round rubber matt with handles on the front. The speed boat pulls you along and you're lay on your front holding on. Unfortunately being tall means your tender regions hang over the back hence major sack slapping. Ah well, the likely-hood of infertility outweighed the fun at the time

But… kitesurfing is exactly what you described whereas wakeboarding doesn't even involve a kite! :confused:

Damnit, I got my quotes the wrong way round

this thread fails to deliver.

Pav89 · 11 May 2008 at 00:52

why do people do that kind of watersports? I have never understood what people get out of it....

Dragging thread back on topic

*HEAVE...*

I used to do a lot of powerboating, only in RIBs really, was always great fun especially in rough weather!

Haven't done any since December I think, hopefully next year i'll get back into it.
