Stuck at Stannah (Fleetwood)

After a second successful trip to Stannah, me Nat and my dad headed out on a fairly cold morning in the hope of getting a good day out.

Sadly the 8.5 meter tide we expected didn't really happen for some unknown reason and after only 2 hours of fun the tide had dropped really fast which resulted in me getting stranded for over 10 mins on a sandbank. Luckily however after much effort I managed to free the ski and recover it onto the trailer safely

Work mates at Stannah (Lancaster)

After a successful first trip to Stannah we headed back with a few people from my work, Craig and Naomi. Again we had a pretty big tide and decent weather and everyone enjoyed the day out even though Naomi almost ended up in the estuary.

Forum meetup at Stannah (Lancaster)

pwcforums.co.uk had organised a meet up had for a hot sunday with a monster tide of over 9 meters and i was invited along with the whole family. This was the first time we had ever been on a jetski in such a huge open expanse of water. We had a fantastic day and met up with some great people from the forum such as Kev and Simon.

Kev is pictured on his green standup ski.

Frodsham Water Sports

After a week of having the ski I decided to pop out to Frodsham Water Sports to give our ski a good run out with my Nat, Louise and Matt. We stayed for around 2 hours and give the ski a good blast reaching speeds of 58mph.

RYA Certified

The day after our ski was delivered, both me and my dad took our RYA certification at Frodsham water sports and passed which meant we were now fully qualified to operate a jetski, however I did have a slight incident involving a tree and the ski I rented.

Deciding to buy a ski

After our return from the USA we were so hooked on jetsking we decided to buy one, after weeks of browsing the internet and magazines for suitable skis we decided that the ski for us was a Seadoo GTI 155 SE (2007) which had plenty of options and plenty of power.

After parting with 5k it was ours, thanks to John from PWC forums for a faultless and easy sale.

First time on a jetski

While on holiday in Florida june/july 2009 my dad suggested that we try jetsking. Once at the jetski place we boarded the rented ski and set off across the lake slowly and began to build up confidence. After our first outing we were fully confidant with the ski and decided to rent jetski's another 4 times before we traveled home.
