Default Wetbikes

I rode one in the late 70's. They were all the rage because James Bond had ridden one in a movie. Once you plane off, waves hitting the front ski are not too much of an issue, although you could bury the ski if a big enough wave hit you. At the time, a big negative was boater curiosity. While riding I was approached very closely by a couple of boats. Like most boaters at the time, they had no clue about the 150ft rule.
