Only one
Only one
we use to have a problem with them at my local break about 10 years ago, the local council & marine authorities arranged a meeting one night, 2 jet skiers and over 100 locals turned up and that was the end of the jet skis, they are now banned !
Spot on Sands , Allows any bogan access to the ocean, without an ounce of ocean knowledge
I'm with Sands. Unfortunately the new boat ramp down our way will only encourage them
There's a hole bunch of them that just pests. My stratergy and I urge everyone to do this is to paddle into the break and theoritically they are no longer allowed to operate within 200 metres of of other beach users.[}:)]
Only one (but expect the inevitable drop ins )
Surely the idiot should be banned riding in a unsafe manner, not the vehicle.
An outsiders point of view of course. i don't know how bad it is up there so i could be mistaken, but im a surfer, Sup'er, Kiter, wakeboarder, and own a Jet Ski. If banning things is the way to go where will it stop a SUP is pretty frigken big and can do swimmers damage if the rider on it rides in in a unsafe manner in crowded areas, such as a kite, or even surfers around swimmers. Jet skis are extemes of these but they are imprtant and safe if the user is considerate and aware of sorroundings and they are a vital part of most beach's life saving facilities.
In short piss the idiots off not the vehicle.
In tassie there are strict rules around swimmers, but comonsense should
I saw this in local rag on Friday - great news.
What about the 100 boats that have been sitting on Palmy reef this week all coming back in through the Alley?
Nearly been collected by 6 man outrigger canoes as well.
Atleast it is a start!!
I'm a bit anti ban anything to be honest!! yes i know that there are dicks that ride skis but as CMC said there are also some on SUP's, now what if this same group of people who pushed for the Jet ski ban now set there sights on SUP's? there are laws for Jet skis and if the police were doing there job then this would not be a problem. To me this is just the easy way out, if some one hoons in a car they get it taken of them so why would something like this not work for ski's and boats as well.
Yeah those 6 man outriggers are super dangerous but when you see some of the guys in the boats paddling you can see why!!! aaa CMC
JACKO!!!
Golf balls in the water? Are there any other things that jet ski motors don't like sucking up?
balls were meant for the head. yet you dont have to ride a jetski to get one either,just a dickhead. you should not expect any high demands for commonsense either as the gene pool of our species is getting weaker everyday. like the idea of rope though....stealth attacks
Jetskis = Aqua Bogans!
Whilst I see a Jetskis relevance for tow ins on the massive stuff or getting to outer reefs they dont belong out in your local beach break....good decision
In NSW Jet Ski's arent allowed in the break where there are surfers or any other craft around for that matter. Don't go bogan on the skis, just some of their riders.
the picture painted in this case looks sad. But still my point the jet skiing near the surfers especialy on the same bank or break is very illegal. do your job water rats or MAST or who ever makes the water way rules. if they are prepared to break them anyway, banning them ??? WTF, will it mean anything.
whats the consequence for breaking the "not allowed to be near swimmers or water craft unless doing under 5 knots rule" anyway??
Is it nothing!!! or is it 10 reminders of the rule then nothing?
doesn't sound to me like banning them completely is the most logical answer. or the next step in finding a soloution etiher.
