I ride a ski and to be honest I read the article and thought how easy it can happen when you are out freestyling if you don't keep an adequate eye out. I haven't thrown anyone off the back, but I have been close when I have throttled off a bit harder than anticipated and caught the passenger off guard.
Anyway, each to their own. I love the boat and I love the ski, but to me they are different uses of the same water. Sure there are some Wally's on ski's, but shit I have seen some Wally's in boats too.

P.S. Dropping the ski in at Scarborough early in the morning for a run up to Caloundra and back.
