hello everybody, just was interested in how many ride stand up skis vs. sit downs. do you like going real fast on a sit down in control or going fast on a stand up hanging on knowing that if you relax for a second you are going down.
WAVEBLASTER, I TRY TO DOWN LOAD PICS, BUT IT KEEPS SAYING ERROR IS THERE A TRICK TO IT? ALSO WHAT STATE ARE YOU IN. I LIVE IN VIRGINIA BEACH VA. BUT DO ALL MY RIDEING IN N.C. ON THE CURRITUCK SOUND AND INTERCOASTAL WATERWAY.
i ride both standups and sitdowns i love going fast its the crashing and burning that suxs but i still so it anyways nothing like getting thrown from a stand up at 55 mph
I have both and I like both for very different reasons. The speed on a sit down is kinda fun and being able to throw a passenger off is always the highlight of the day. Sit downs are also great because they are big enough to pull a tube or a skier. Now the stand ups are more difficult, but the options of tricks you can do is endless. I love trying new tricks or perfecting my balance on a sharp turn or catching more air off a big wake. The jet ski is smaller and more agile, but also harder to stay on which gives me a challenge. So the bottom line is that I would choose a stand up over a sit down any day, even in rough water!
I gotta tell you, I have been known to ride mostly stand ups over the years but. I got a hold of a 650 X2 haven't been able to ride anything else. Its a stand up with a narrow seat. Loads of fun, you can do all of the unique tricks and still sit when tired!
Well I guess none of you have tried to travel 600 plus miles on a jet ski!! Using a stand up sure would be a long haul but we have had some do it. Sit Downs are the easiest and safest way to go. Think Warm and get on the River. Tennesseeriver600.com
