Ouch: Ski runs over surfer at Uluwatu!

A forgotten menace!

What is your worst biggest fear? Rogue set wave and a super low reefy tide? Shark? Hydrofoil SUP? Regular SUP? Beginner on a longboard? Beginner on a SUP? A really good surfer embarrassing you whilst your girlfriends is on the beach taking pictures? Shark riding a hydrofoil SUP?

Jetski?

After the strapped thing went away I sort of lost track of jetskis in normal waves. Like, who does that? Apparently some man at Uluwatu who mowed down another man on a fun-sized day. You must go to Indo Surf Life to catch all the carnage but I’ll give you a taste here!

I’d be more fearful of the guy who towed in. He’s on a Hypto. The guy probably can’t even duck dive.

Looks like he (the “victim”) was dropping in on someone else so I’d say he deserved it.

Cant believe anyone would side with a jetski at Ulu’s. Surfers truely are all Neanderthals

I commented too soon. Didn’t realise the dude on the inside was being towed in. Got it now.

It’s ok. I think JetSki has right of way.

The lineup hierarchy revolution has begun!

I’d say the tow team was dropping in on a paddle session; if he did that from where I’m from (ran someone over), he’d be in a very interesting predicament.

Yep I didn’t realise that dude on the inside had been towed in. Commented too soon I did. Talk about crashing the party – dicks. I’d be dropping in on that guy too, although not if I thought the ski might take me out!

Yeah; poor manners all around; it’s possible it was the tow team’s turn. The reality is that safety is always compromised when burning someone even if you’re rightfully burning them.

It’s not all that bad. I actually look forward to my routine morning Inertia. Especially after a couple cups of coffee!
