The Inertia

The personal watercraft has revolutionized surfing. Ever since Laird Hamilton, Buzzy Kerbox and Darrick Doerner first started using Jet Skis to catch the previously uncatchable surf on the North shore of Oahu, the watercraft have been a fixture in big wave surfing.

However, while jet skis are typically reserved for getting towed in to terrifying walls of water, their use is not limited to hunting monsters. In his latest YouTube video, Jacob ‘Zeke’ Szekely, explored the capabilities in more humble surf. Maverick’s regular Marty Magnussen took his tricked-out watercraft to whip Zeke into some fun-sized waves for a bit of air practice.

The experiment proved a success, allowing Szekely to get airborne in surf that would normally require a groveler. “I landed 20 airs in two hours,” said Zeke, “So it was pretty all time.”
