As a previous "Jetflea" owner myself I know how it sucks about the rep you get. Sad thing is, I also know there is alot of truth to it. I cant tell you how many times I have had "encounters" with the riders because of stupid things they were doing.
I know this is not all of them, just like cars, and I am not implying you act this way either. Just trying to put a boaters perspective on it. Just rise above it and try not to be "that guy." If you see me out, feel free to come ride my waves.
