Take a ride on the wild side!
Just wanted to make sure I conveyed to you how much I enjoyed and appreciated the ride on Saturday as I think I was in stunned disbelief and probably a bit speechless afterwards (I also didn't want to get in anyone's way as you prepared for your next run). I have to say it was absolutely amazing, I thought I had a bit of an idea of what to expect but I wasn't even close, I think it also caused Kareena a bit of stress though but she's OK now. Anyway thanks again and all the best for the next season.
Kind Regards,

600 HORSE POWER STRAPPED TO YOUR BACKSIDE.... EXPERIENCE IT!
Imagine yourself being strapped unbelievably tightly into your race seat, a helmet placed and pulled down firmly on your head, done up tightly! A neck brace fitted around your neck, an arm restraint fitted to your wrist in case of a roll over!
Yes, this boat has roll bars! You watch your driver reach out and hit the start button, the motor leaps to life, roaring incredibly loud just centimetres behind your seat. You realise the brute power of the motor as the entire boat vibrates and shudders from the idling motor. Yes! Just the idling motor!
Now you really wonder what the hell you are doing, you think to yourself, my god the motor fills two thirds of this boat and I’m strapped into it, YES, 600 hundred plus horse power strapped to your backside!
You idle to the start gate, you’re starting to relax a bit, you’re just metres from the gate, then suddenly the light flashes green and in that instant your life ends forever as you know it.
GONE!!!! OH MY GOD ...............
You are violently thrust back into the seat. Your stomach is back at the start line! It’s as though you have been punched in the chest with enormous force as the boat seems to leap completely out of the water, the G-forces pushing you back in your seat, the next instant your head is slammed to the side as you suddenly take the first corner at an incredible speed. It’s at this time you think, what have I gotten myself in for?
It is like you are on a totally impossible ride – you are slammed from side to side, your vision is blurred, you can’t breath, you are thinking this is impossible, we can’t be going this fast, we can’t possibly be going around corners at this speed, this boat can’t possibly be this powerful, the noise, the wind, unbelievable. Then in what seems like seconds the ride is over - you have just come into the spin out pool at full speed, with nothing but a small pool of water in which to stop, your eyes are as big as saucepans, you are slammed to the side for the last time as the boat spins out and comes to a halt. You are stunned, your head is spinning, you don’t know whether to laugh or cry, and you realise you haven’t taken a breath since the beginning of the ride; you suck in a breath slowly, feeling yourself begin to settle from the shear physical terror of the ride. You realise you are shaking uncontrollably – a minute of fear and adrenaline coursing through your veins....
Yes! You have just had a ride in a Jet Sprint boat!!!
That’s what it is like to have 600 plus horse power strapped to your backside!!!
