I rode my first one around 1980-82. I had a hard time getting it up on plane. For those that have never road one its nothing like a PWC. You sit in the water and need balance almost like trying to water start on a slalom ski. Takes a little practice. Remounting and starting again when I was learning became a scary situation. I was at a small lake in Goffstown NH which was actually a river that had a dam. I got pretty close to the dam from the water flow before finally getting back up and away from danger. Yikes! That was a little scary. Once you are up I thought it sort of rides like a cross between a jet ski and a motorcycle.
