Hi everyone, my name is Todd. I'm 21 and I just bought a 1997 SeaDoo Challenger 110 in July of 2007. I absolutely love this thing and couldn't be happier. I had a 1991 Honda 250X Quad that I traded on another Jet Boat. This time it's a 1996 SeaDoo Sportster. The main reason I traded was due to the fact that my original trailer for the Challenger, which was a painted trailer, broke on our way home from Long Neck, De. I traded for the Sportster w/ Galvanized trailer and plan on fixing the other trailer along the way. I have a question about the Sportster but since this isn't the right section i'll post that in another thread. Thanks for having me. /Life story. :rofl:

Try 48 and still bare foot sking!........my wife thinks I should act my own age. I've asked her what that means I should do? Stand around with the old folks and play shuffle board!..........
Rock on!..........ride to live (till you die anyway)

Hi Chris
Karl's right,
A mid life crisis is nothing compared to a life long addiction to jet skis and jet boats. It won't be long before your wife starts praying for you to have a mid life crisis so you'll quit ridin' and talkin' jet skis!

My wife gets disappointed when she sees me working on my boat before I leave...because she knows I be back...:rofl:
Chris you enjoy it mate.
I think the average age on here might be 35-50.
We just enjoying ourselves now because we didn't have the money for toys like these in our mid 20's.
Plus this sport is alot kinder on ya bones, compared to falling off dirt bikes.
Yeks, I shouldn't hijack the thread and talk about dirt bikes...been there done that ... That's what triggered me to Stand-up jetskis... after a 5 year Motocross/ Drag/ Ice race/ Flat Track career!

Come on Guys not all we ladies are like that I have the opposite reaction at my house, the husband replies your back already, so the next time I go out it's for a lot longer and I love it . I have to say that I take my eldest boy with me and the two little ones. So hubby is at home all on his lonesome and still he complains. I hope that he gets his ski licence one day and we all can have a great day.Age is no barrier.

Seasons?
O.K Mara, the seasons are like that of the U.S.....but does your summer season consist of the months of June, July and August. Or are those your colder months?
I guess for some reason, I thought Countries on the South side of the equator had reverse seasons from us.
