10 Reasons Why You Should Own A Jet Ski

Have you always thought about getting a jet ski, but had your doubts about pulling the trigger?  Take it from me, they are more fun than you might think—and they can also change your lifestyle.   If you don’t already own one, here are some reasons why you should get a jet ski:

1. Girls LOVE them

You might think your Xbox is sexy and exciting, but the cute, thin brunette on the other side of your office does not.  Yes, girls just wanna have fun—and jet skis are FUN.   I have been out on the water with doctors that had brand new boats—and the hot 22-year-old blonde college girl they had with them literally jumped onto the back of my ski and said “take me out for a ride.”   This has actually happened several times—because girls know that jet skis are fun and exciting—and they will know YOU are fun and exciting when they see you pull up to the beach on one.

A lot of times on the water, what you look like is irrelevant—you will have a masculine advantage over Johnny paddleboard or Kenny kayaker any day of the week.  And given how superficial, flaky, narcissistic, and overly-picky American girls have become, there is nothing wrong with giving yourself a little competitive advantage in the attraction department.

2. They are the opposite of boring

Hot girls always want to do exciting things—they absolutely hate boredom.  Getting out on the water and racing your supercharged jet ski at 70 mph towards the local beach bar is a really good way to attract them and keep them excited, because to do so is the opposite of being bored.

You know that cute blonde who is always quietly tanning over at your apartment pool by herself?  Get her out on the water by saying “This place is boring, let’s get the hell out of here and get a tan while actually doing something EXCITING.”  And, if you own a three-seater, you’re odds of getting her out are even better, as she’ll feel more comfortable by bringing her equally vapid friend as well.

Just make sure that when you get to the bar, you only have one or two while you are there.  Many jet skis are high performance machines—and not like that slow, beat-up rental you once used on that trip to Aruba.  Not only do you need to stay sharp behind the wheel, but you can easily get a DUI while out on the water.

3. They are masculine

You ever see a soy-drinking, Starbucks buying, yoga loving, #MeToo marching, feminist-supporting boy-bitch at the helm of a 300 horsepower jet ski?  Me neither.

4. They are cheap to operate

The phrase “Jet Ski” is actually a generic brand term for “Personal Watercraft” (like Scotch Tape or Rollerblade) and represents watercraft manufactured by Kawasaki.  The other two major brands—Bombardier and Yamaha—each manufacture “Sea-Doo and “Wave Runner” respectively.

My Sea-Doo has a 16 gallon gas tank, and using premium, it costs me about $55 to fill it up for the weekend; a little more if I am taking it on a really long ride and want to use more than one tank.   The annual service and oil change at my local shop is $250.   You likely spend more than that each year on Red Bulls for the Xbox.

In salt water, you have to spray and oil your ski after each ride—no matter what brand you own.  Since I do that, the gas and the annual service fee are the only things I spend on it each year—there is nothing else I need to buy.  I also keep my ski stored in a garage, and connect my battery to a trickle-charger in order to increase reliability.   If you want, you can also spend a few extra dollars on upgrades to make it go faster; once you get used to some speed, 60 miles per hour will eventually seem “a little slow.”

5. You can trailer them anywhere

No… you do NOT need a Ford F–150 or Jeep 4×4 to trailer a large, three-seat jet ski.  I drive an old two door, four cylinder Acura RSX—and it’s not even the beefed-up “Type S” model.   Back in 2012, I had a $300 Curt trailer hitch welded on, and I have been towing my 900 pound Sea-Doo GTX with it ever since.

I have been on hundreds of boat ramps all up and down the east coast—and I have never had any towing problems.   I have trailered my jet ski to-and-from Atlanta, Charleston, and the Florida Keys—all amazing places to be out on the water.   I even evacuated from Hurricane Irma without breaking a sweat.  If I can do all this with my little RSX, so can you.

Read your car’s owner’s manual and see what the maximum towing capacity and tongue weight is.  Unless you drive a SmartCar, you’ll be surprised at how much you can actually tow.

6. You’ll create “bad-boy” street-bike excitement with less risk

Most ROK readers know that girls LOVE street bikes because they are dangerous—which makes the tatted up bad-boy biker dick seem all the sexier to them.  Jet ski’s are dangerous as well (you can break ribs falling off at 40 mph), but a fast jet ski is still very exciting to girls.

A supercharged ski (Google what a supercharger is) can launch you and two petite sorority hotties with a cooler full of Lime-O-Rita’s across the water at nearly 70 mph—and it can reach that speed in just a few seconds.  The intense acceleration that comes with a supercharged engine is what really turns women on—end of story.

As long as you stay alert and be responsible on the water, the risk of injury or death is arguably lower than on a street bike; no red lights that could be run, and nobody cutting you off without a turn signal.  Street bikes are awesome, but you can still get those cute girls excited without having to weave in-and-out of text message prone traffic—over pothole-laden concrete—at 140 miles per hour.

7. They will improve your image 

Think she’s attracted to you for all those intellectually stimulating conversations?  Ha!  With young girls in America, it’s all about image—how she sees you through her eyes.  Again, jet skis are fun and exciting, so when you choose to leave the paddleboard at home and head out on your jet ski, it tells women something about your excitement level.

At work, I have to behave like a professional nerd to fit in with the climate.  Despite this, my co-workers routinely ask, “Did you take your jet ski out this weekend?”  Sure you can keep your paddleboard and inflatable kayak, but imagine how you would look to girls if all you did was “take it easy” on the water, then one day you showed up to the lake with a 300 horsepower RXP-X.   Your new bad-ass image to them would be the equivalent of you seeing a girl lose 50 pounds overnight—it would create shock and attraction at the same time.

8. The amount of fun you’ll have is well worth the price

Houston—we are GO for launch!!

With a jet ski, the price-to-fun ratio is absolutely insane.  Sure, you can buy a brand-new top of the line jet ski for $16,000, (or $24,000 in Australia) but I got mine used off of Craigslist from a guy in Baltimore.  I knew I wanted a fast three-seater, had a particular model in mind, and used AllofCraigs.com to find it.  The ski was only a few years old, in immaculate condition, and I paid the guy $5,000 cash in an envelope.

For the amount of fun I had, for the amount of memories I made, and for all the amazing places I have been to, that little white envelope was worth EVERY penny.

WAWA and water—doesn’t get much better for Pepe

You don’t live near an ocean or the Gulf?  There is most likely a lake or river within a few hours’ drive away that will give you an extremely fun day for less than $100.   And trust me—jet skiing on a lake is much more fun than it sounds.  You can also get a good tow-tube for about $60 to $100, then grab some sodas and drag the kiddies (slowly) around your local lake.  The smiles on their faces will be priceless.

9. They are easy to sell

Almost everyone wants a boat, but even small ones can be expensive to own and operate.  You could be out enjoying that same gorgeous water in a few weeks without having a major financial burden on your hands.   The demand for jet skiis has always been relatively high, and if you ever get stuck financially and need to sell yours quickly, just turn to Craigslist.  If you keep it in good shape, it will likely be sold in a few days or weeks.

10. You will meet new people—in real life

Nope, no Xbox here…

Jet skiing to a destination is fun, but jet skiing to a destination with other people is really fun.  Many people own jet skis, and I have met tons of other skiers out on the water during group rides.  A good ice breaker is to complement people on the color and model of their jet ski—even if you believe yours looks better and runs faster.  Remember: TV and video games are fun, but it’s also important to get out in the world and meet new people in real life—not just an avatar through a gaming headset.

Conclusion

Your life needs balance, and part of that is to get out there and enjoy the world (and also attract women).  Jet skis are a fun and cheap way to help do all that.  If you don’t already own one, save up $6,000 (or get a personal loan from a Credit Union) and buy a good used jet ski off Craigslist.  Look for a supercharged model (they are much faster and well worth the money) that is clean with no rust or fading, and has around 100 hours or less on it.   Take care of your machine, be respectful and responsible on the water, and you will have years of great memories.

Even if jet skiing is not your thing, most ROK readers know how important it is to “get out there” and start living life to the fullest.   A jet ski will not necessarily change your life, but it can help you get more out of it.

  1. “10 reasons I think you should buy this expensive shit for women”
    Fixed it

      1. That is a classic scene when “Black Betty” is playing. He has that dirty chick topless behind him on the jetski and then just makes a sharp turn to throw her off into the water as he rides away.

    1. @ Werkof
      I owned a Jet Ski before when I was in FL (I sold it to raise funds for Law School) and a jet ski is INSANE FUN! 🙂
      I never even gave a shit about inviting women to go riding with me. I bought it for myself and I enjoyed every moment riding it. Not once did I take it out to the lake (or sometimes, the beach, but I am Central FL and it is a good 50min drive to Cocoa, the closest beach) and not once did I ever say “I regret riding it today”. 🙂
      Owning a jet ski is like working out. No one ever says “I wish I did not do this today”.
      And YES, women love Jet Skis. I often had women want to invite themselves to go riding with me and sometimes I would bring a woman along, other times I did not. Sometimes a man eneds to go out and ride alone (same with snow skiing, you need to go and SKI and not worry about anyone else around).
      But it is a sure bet saying “wanna go ride a jet ski tomorrow” and have some woman excitedly say “of course! I will bring along some snacks”. On the way back, we were wet and still had adrenaline pumping and slowly going down, so I would pull off side road and bend over the hood. “Thank you, ma’am!” 😆
      And yes, jet ski in decent working condition is super easy to sell. I sold my old Sea Doo (which I bought lightly used already) for $200 MORE than what I paid for and I used it hard for 2 years. They sell fast, especially if you sell it with the hitch as a “combo”, it is easy and fast to sell. Auto Trader has a jet ski section and it is often 2-5 days for sale, they come and check it out and if they buy, it is a cash/cashier’s check transaction on-the-spot drive away with jet ski.
      Do NOT dismiss a jet ski off the bat unless you have owned one.
      Ps. Owning a jet ski is NOT like owning a boat, which is a hellish expensive headache of maintenance, high costs, and difficulty to sell. Jet skis are low maintenance compared, easy to store (a slip cover will do), and fun fun fun!!!

      1. Thanks for that insight ChtistianCool…I have seriously always wanted to get one

    2. “2 reasons” why I’ll be able to fuck ya momz…
      .
      1. Mah YUGE Chaaakkk
      2. Mah inflatable kayak
      .
      Get out of that basement bitch

    3. Werkof Rodann – more like “Wack Off daily” in mom’s basement to laptop porn. There is so much fucking beta here it is ridiculous.

    1. Not sure if its gay, but yeah, its pretty bad.
      I wonder if the male model in 7 looked like Danny Devito, would the jet ski still have those girls flocking to him?

      1. Nah. #7 is wishful thinking. Only thing that will improve your image is you working out and building up your body. Not water toys. But even then, they’ll wait for you to approach. Now Danny Devito. They’ll flock to him but only because he’s famous.
        As for #1, hot 22 year old college girl on the doctor’s boat, sorry, Andy. That was his daughter who wanted to ride your jet ski. Not his gf or wife. No girl’s going to give up a rich doctor to ride on your jet ski. Not in his presence. Girls know jet skiis are cheap compared to nice boats.

      2. Danny DeVito does bang supermodels because he is insanely rich and he PAYS them well. If Danny was broke, he would have to beg a crackwhore to pay her for a bang.
        For the subject at hand…..
        Fun-wise a jet ski is infinitely less expensive, less maintenance, and way more fun to own and ride then a boat. You can do crazy stunts in a jet ski, instead of a boat that just rides along.
        It is as the article said: a motorcycle-level of coolness but way safer and way cheaper and fewer headaches to ride than a motorcycle too.
        Trust me spending a half a day at a lake or beach with a jet ski is just awesome. It is also “cheap fun” if you compare to other costly daytrips you can take. You go ride, change clothes by the car, and go back. The cost is basically gas and hot dogs at the food stand (if you take a woman, make HER bring a picnic basket).
        My buddy from TX said to me once “in TX, you always have friends because you are always throwing barbecues in your yard”. You own a jet ski, you always have people who want to come and ride. Just one of these things in life.
        Ps. Owning a jet ski is like owning a convertible car when you are a broke college student. I owned a Miata when I was in college (and I was broke) and me and my girl would go riding along at night with a large milkshake from Checkers, and sing along, laugh, and then pull off some side-road for an outdoor bang. It was cheap fun and girls loved it.
        I also love riding with wind blowing in my hair and just music, singing along, and chillin’. Makes a trip to get a gallon of milk into a short thrill. When I had that Miata, I never minded running errands because it was usually fun to go (except when weather was bad, of course).
        There are some things in life that are fun to own. A convertible car and a fast jet ski are two of them. They make life so much better. Man, I cannot ait o go back to Orlando and buy another jet ski!! Renting is OK, but owning your own is a whole new level of fun and freedom to go exploring different places. And you can buy jet skis that are infinitely faster then ones for rental too.

    2. Blitzkrieg Bob – holy fuk you’re a beta-bitch
      .
      Have fun on land with your x-hamster.com and fleshlight bragh

    3. Nothing gayer than a Chad with a single jetski behind his 2wd. Interesting article. I didn’t read it.

      1. “Gayer” isn’t a word
        .
        Neither is “beta-bitch”…which is what ya are.
        .
        Read da article…you might surface from mommy’s basement

    4. Ha! Blitzkrieg Bob – you know who says things like that about articles like these? People who NEVER GET LAID
      .
      Time to retire your fleshlight bro…

  2. Instead of buying a jet ski, buy an AR15. Get 1,000 rounds and go practice. Not only will you teach yourself a new skill. You will be enhancing your abilities to protect yourself, family, and friends. This is a cheaper and much more practical way to spend money.
    When shit hits the fan, the girls won’t be clinging to the douche bag with the jet ski.

      1. For a lot of these guys, they never will….you can tell by the triggered comments here that people are “afraid” of jet skis, so they come up with BS excuses like “it will be boring, or “OMG he is so Materilaistic! ” You know you’re a total beta-bitch when you start coming up with 800 reasons why a jet ski is bad, or evil, or “gay.” People feel really beta here, because jetskiis are alpha-as fuck, so when you are not, it must really sting. Alot of these comments are like a 120 pound guy – who doesnt go to they gym – making fun of a 220 pound guy that is jacked.

    1. Get an AK-47 semi-auto instead, since the 7.62×39 rounds are WAY more effective then the AR and AKs cost a 1/3 of the AR cost. An AR-15 uses a .22 LR round on steroids. And AK ammo is cheaper, the rifle is easier to maintain and clean, and it has REAL stopping power. And the AK is intimidating as hell and is almost unstoppable in its reliability, bump-fire rate, and stopping power.
      Customize your AK with USA-made polymer parts instead of stock wood and it becomes lighter and even more accurate (get an acuratizing kit if you like to aim every single shot at distance andf you have an all-purpose rifle that won’t jam and fail on you when SHTF for real and you have to survive outside.
      Get BOTH the AK and the Jet ski. Why do they have to be mutually exclusive anyway? 🙄

      1. It’s been said that the AK is a poor mans weapon andbthe AR a professional fighters weapon.
        AR is double distance at killing accurately out to 700 yards. AK at 350.
        AR kills them plenty dead. Dismantles. I’ve shot many deer with an AR15 so I can speak firsthand.
        Ammo isn’t that much cheaper in general. It’s marginal.
        I’ve got the best of both in a piston driven AR. Sane AK reliability but with AR accuracy.

    2. If you had a girlfriend, she would cling to me – on the back of my jetski
      .
      This article had absolutely NOTHING to do with weapons, so nice job trying to change the subject from something that makes you jealous or scared.
      .
      Lose the weight, pop those zits, change your attitude, and surface from mommies basement. You’ll be glad you did

  3. “Hot girls always want to do exciting things—they absolutely hate boredom.”
    Jeez, I dunno…
    Just something about doing things to entertain a slut rubs me the wrong way.
    I checked. New water scooters cost $6k to $18K.
    I can bang a WHOLE LOTTA escorts with that cash. And not have to worry if I am “boring” them or not. But that’s just me.

    1. 10 grands wisely invested for a few years can grow into the downpayment for a modest starter home in a cheap location or a safety cushion to fund learning new valuable skills or whatever…Jesus H the next time i hear some millennial dufu griping about how broke they are I swear the God I vomit onto his/her face.

      1. Yup.
        I did that early on and at this point I no longer have to save.
        I let my investments accrue. Have not yet touched that.
        I view my income from work as “disposable”.
        But I suppose I would be in an even better position if I did keep saving from my income…

        1. I do exactly the same, actually if one year the bonus is really good i add some of it to the pile. The best feeling in the world is waking up knowing that i have more than enough to flip a giant bird to the world at large without any consequence to my quality of life.
          I think it might be a common thing for people of our age range who made ourselves around the financial services racket over the years.
          We have seen too many ups and downs in the market&economy and too many bullshitters of the here today gone tomorrow variety to get impressed by moronic conspicuous consumption.

    2. and then you don’t use it but are still paying insurance, storage fees, maintenance…
      Like below – rent while on vacation.
      I see many in the Hudson River lately. maybe be fun to take a date for a tour around Manhattan. And certainly while on the Tropical Island Vacation…
      We all know my ex wife says: “if it fly’s, floats, or fucks – cheaper to rent….”
      And all my 35 years of travel I have never been on one…

      1. “And all my 35 years of travel I have never been on one…”
        .
        What da fuck are you commenting for then bro?? And if you are lazy and dont use it, its your fault…not the machines. Also, they are expensive to rent…75 to 100 for a half hour. That shit adds up quickly

        1. “What da fuck are you commenting for then bro??”
          giving my decades of experience on boat ownership, and observation of female behavior, especially around beaches.
          Most jetskis riders seem like douchbag types – no women…same as the lambo drivers –
          SUP(stand up paddle boards), however – many very hot women – and surfer/windsurfer/life-guard guys…
          I do neither. But may one day if I feel inclined…
          if $100 is expensive for you I suggest you work harder…
          Would be nothing for me or @automaticSlim to fly first class – rent a $100 jetski, and each put 2 $400 whores on the back…

    3. You can get a decent used one for $1500 you cheap skate. 2k all day.
      It’s a lot of fun and he’s right. Chicks dig em.

      1. You’re the Big 10 football guy, right?
        Where do you jet ski?
        Lake Erie?

        1. Lake Erie, Put in Bay, Lake Cumberland and Norris Lake.
          And I get 10x the puss you do.
          My brother raced them back in the day. Went up against Vanilla Ice. Chicks everywhere at those events.
          If you can’t get laid owning a motorcycle or jet ski turn in your man card.

        2. @ rw
          How would you possibly know what I “get”?
          Your abrasive online attitude tells me that you are most likely a fraud. Why would a “football stud” with the life of reilly have to act like that?.
          Said it before and will say it again. You are a fraud and a troll.

      1. Hello Beavis.
        Everyone is entitled to their opinion, including you and also me.
        I believe buying a water scooter, or a Porsche, or a $2500 suit to impress a slut is pathetic. What do you think happens when that slut sees a guy with bigger muscles, a yacht and a Ferrari?
        When American females return to being the chaste ladies that they were before the 60s, perhaps I will worry about what they want. But until then, I will only care about what I need. And I would rather bang escorts — 7s/8s/9s and occasional 10s who don’t care if I live or die than plain janes, fat pigs, ugly dogs, or, worst of all, wrinkled old bags in their 40s who might “love” me.
        Ha…love…talk about a BETA concept.

        1. Paying for sex with whites is like eating other people’s leftovers at the Golden Corral.

        2. Paying for sex with whores is like eating other people’s leftovers at the Golden Corral.

        3. Automatic – I understand how you feel bragh. But we are a community that helps each other-not hurt each other. We have nothing without unity bro.
          .
          These articles are designed to help men – not hurt men….and that is what this guy is trying to do. Your comments r pretty good, so you got a lot to contribute to ROK, but its important to keep an open mind bro

    4. The pay for it vs. pickup debate is like hunting for deer for dinner vs. shopping at the grocery store for meat.
      Me, I prefer the hunt. I know I can get a meal whenever I want but, to me, the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of the “harvest” can’t be beat.

    5. “Just something about doing things to entertain a slut rubs me the wrong way.”
      .
      You missed EVERY point of the article – and judging by your “water scooter” price comment, I actually don’t think you read one word of it. Unfortunately, with that beta and blue-pill frame of mind and not understanding how to attract girls, you will just “rub yourself” instead of having actual sex. Change is nothing to be afraid of
      .
      Oh, and I don’t think you are actually having sex with a “WHOLE LOTTA” escorts – I call total Bullshit on that

      1. As I said to “beavis”, we are all entitled to our opinions.
        Even when they are wrong.
        Your opinion is wrong.
        You can “call” anything you like.
        I do not lie, sir.
        Have no reason to.
        I am in my early 50s and have been making a 6 figure income since my late
        20s. Single, never married, no kids, live in cheap studio apt. in semi-crappy neighborhood, drive 13 year old car, wear clothes from Macy’s and Sears. I have plenty of disposable income and escorts is how I choose to spend it. If I had not been banging escorts all these years (ans I started with street walkers at 20), I would have had to date 3s, 4s, and 5s. No thanks. And now? Date wrinkled old bags in their 40s??? Double no thanks!
        BTW, I am about as red pill as it gets. I KNOW I am not physically attractive enough to date/bang hot girls. Have known this since grade school. So I took the only route that was available to me. As stated above, the only other option would have been to settle for the 3/4/5s — no thanks.
        Have a good night.

        1. Thank you for sharing that information with us slim.
          .
          It is NEVER too late to make changes in your life – 50 is the new 30, so there is still plenty of time for you to get what you want out of it. I love ROK because is designed to provide insight and street smarts….to help people get the life and girls they want. I’m not here to bash people, but I thought this guys article was really good and I see him trying to inspire people here – especially the younger ones. When people act beta and start taking shit about something really fun like a jetski (I also have one) it makes me ballistic and offended, because people are merely jealous or scared to attempt to be as happy as this guy obviously is. Also, alot of young people read this site, and could be influenced by all the negative beta comments – which can be a very contagious thing. Unless they lost a close family member to a jetskii accident, someone who is very happy with their life would not “think this article is sooo gay.”
          .
          Use the ROK articles as a map – and your income as the car – to arrive at the happy life you want. Your age is irrelevant.

        2. @ Galapagos
          “When people act beta and start taking shit about something really fun like a jetski (I also have one) it makes me ballistic and offended”
          – Yeah, I can understand that. But understand that I never stated that I had a problem with Jet Ski owners, or buying/renting one for fun. Just the author’s very strong implication that it was a way to get girls. But yeah, I can understand a guy losing his temper now and then. Happens to me, too.
          “Water Scooter”
          – A term I have used for a long time. Not a pejorative, IMO. Googlr “Water Scooter” and you will see pictures of jet skis all over the place.
          “Use the ROK articles as a map – and your income as the car – to arrive at the happy life you want. Your age is irrelevant.”
          – Thanks for that. Take care.

        3. Bragh…this article gives you like everything u need start jetskiing…and I mean EVERYTHING. He even tells you how much the gas costs, what u need to do to trailer it, how to maintain it, how to talk to people on da water – I mean he covers EVERYTHING. There is nothing this guy leaves out, except what color life jacketz to get, and what food or booze to bring on da water. Ya hate him because this shit is SO well written…and now your’e totally out of excuses.
          .
          Sorry bragh…but so are you

  4. Jet skiing seems rather juvenile/peacocky. “B-b-but wimmin luv jet skiis bro.” Who gives a fuck what American women think? Take that $6,000 and use it to move out of your Western dungpot instead. Problem solved.

    1. “Who gives a fuck what American women think?”
      .
      The guys who actually get laid by them – that’s who

  5. Trust me, your bank account when you don’t own any bullshit is a hell of a lot more sexually attractive to women than you are, when you do have a garage full of toys. Always do what you enjoy but never go into debt to pull strange. that’s just stupid.

  6. We went down to Busan (Haeundae area) for the weekend a couple of weeks ago, I saw there plenty of guys operating these buzzing aquatic equivalent of a Vespa moped.
    It might be an Asian thing, or I simply might be an aging moralizing party-pooper, but the owners invariably didn’t strike me as particularly masculine, as it was your typical crowd of Korean 20 or 30something males with some disposable income: relatively tall, fit but with heavily surgerized faces and the same ridiculous k-poppish hairstyle.
    Maybe it’s different in the good ole Us of A but I tend to be skeptical of people equating masculinity with acting like a jock straight out of a 1985 fantasy.

    1. Love Busan/Haeundae.
      There’s a Clam House up on the hill. Well known to Koreans.
      My former SB/GF took me when I was there back in ’12.
      They serve all different kinds of clams grilled in the shell with butter and garlic and those stringy mushrooms.
      Great with that cold rice wine.

      1. Please get me the name&address brother, I absolutely love sea food and I’m literally salivating here :).
        Next time you’re there take the time to visit the Jagalchi market close to the port. The area is a bit rougher comparing to Haeundae but if you’re into any kind of sea food it’s a sensorial assault you will never forget.
        And yes Makkeolli is freaking awesome, I can drink that by the gallon.

      2. Thank you I owe you a big one ! If you ever come back to the land of the morning hangover holla back in this direction, we should get a cold one.

  7. As a professional captain and jetski guy, I have had FREE access to jet skis pretty much since they invented them. I even ran a jet ski rental business for years. I would NEVER buy one.
    Renting them is cheaper by far. A jet ski us just a really tiny boat, for the price of a real boat, which you can then go fishing, diving and waterskiing from. All a jet ski can do is zoom around in circles. It becomes BORING after about five minutes. The depreciation outstrips the price of renting them within one year. There is a reason you bought a year old ski for 5K. That guy wasted TEN GRAND on the privilege of owning a jet ski for a year or so, and then unloaded it on you in relief.

    1. Now this seems like excellent advice from a guy who knows what he is talking about.

      1. yep. And renting a jet ski would be something you do with a woman you already met..
        2 best days of a boat owners life – they day he buys a boat, and the day he sells it…

      1. But *muh* nutz in ya momz face
        .
        Gettin a jetski next week…she wants me to take her out

    2. Blackbeard – don’t be a professional beta…
      .
      Get a yourself a jetski, get out on the water with us, and lets go out and have some fun times bragh

  8. Wow, this article pushes straight up materialism and white knighting attention whoring of the worst kind and in the worst way, and then proceeds to simp to women and beg for more attention.
    Was this supposed to be satire? I mean you could not possibly push a more gay and beta attention whoring waste of money at women than filling a club with women directly and buying them all bottle service hoping one of the sloots might get damp panties in your direction.
    Wow…just a staggering wow.. Mr (not sure on this) Clayton must have a vagina. A more pathetic man could not have written this article unless it was meant to be pure satire….AS if all his reasoning(sic) behind this stupid purchase could not be accomplished by other ways and waaaay less money.. It was so flat out “get back on the reservation” commercially pandering is caused involuntary reflux and nausea for me as I tried to think about it before replying to it…I think my T levels dropped after Claytons estrogen infusion through this article.

    1. If this is what you need, rent it for a day, about 100 bucks maybe. Use some sense. this article was as stupid as getting married… Rent the ho for a day, don’t write a check for life against a 5 minute feel good jerk off.

      1. F***… “10 Reasons why you SHOULD…..”
        When you read sh**t like this, you SHOULD go slam a toilet lid or bathroom stall door on your dic* until sanity returns. It will hurt a lot less for a lot less time in a lot less ways than to buy into “10 Reasons why you SHOULD…..” marry or buy sh** you don’t absolutely need or train in “game” for sloots, or on and on…..ad nauseum.
        What kind of unthinking moron must you be, to you follow insane morons that dispense such stupid advice, as this article and others, that will lead you straight into bondage you are seeking to avoid? Be wise men, listen to ALL “wisdom” and decide better what is wisdom and what is just utter life stealing garbage. WHo is more the fool, the fool himself/herself or the fool who follows that fool?

    2. i have a jetski and i get laid by hot girls all the time with it up on my lake. Since you are a middle aged do nothing comment troll, i doubt you will ever be able to say the same

      1. What a lame juvenile “oh look at me with my toys” comment. Good for you little boy. Glad you have an expensive toy to make up for the lack of maturity and common sense. Run along now.

    1. Starve ALL women the other toys to play with (and the money spending too) and they will soon come to realize that the ride you suggest is more fun and fulfilling, and a lot cheaper.

  9. I guess nobody is gonna give the author of this article a break… instead endless ball busting apparently.
    In reality, I’ve always had a blast renting Ski-Doos and even Scooters when I’ve been on holidays. Granted, I’ve never done it to impress or pick up a chick, but they are fun ways of seeing new landscapes and exploring off the beaten path. I too wouldn’t buy one, but the author’s advice of buying used off of Craigs with cash is sensible. And if you do live near an ocean / sea / lake (especially if you have children), then I do think it is a worthwhile / fun hobby and good way of connecting with like-minded people — not just to impress skanky chicks.
    So, at the end of the day, $5,000 – $8,000 (plus some ongoing maintenance) is not a tonne of dough for a hobby that puts a big smile on your face, relieves stress, takes your mind off negative shit, gets you outside producing vitamin D3, and creates an opportunity to make new friends.

    1. Allister the point of contention is not spending money for a hobby you enjoy, I’d say nobody sane would object to that. You are Ernesto Bertarelli and the sea is your thing ? Heck who am i to say you’re a douche for spending a bit of cash to win the America’s cup.
      What most of us find absolutely idiotic instead is wasting cash to impress people.

      1. Funny you mention that.
        Was walking along the beach at Montauk last year and there was a super yacht parked there.
        A helicopter landed on the roof.
        Garage doors opened and jetskis, and a wake-boarding boat were lowered into the water…and fun they had…
        Yacht was called Vava II – googled the owner -Ernesto Bertarelli
        30 crew – $200,000,000
        jetski is disposable.

        1. Mr. Bertarelli is the embodiment of how an Italian businessman should be: incredibly smart and educated, ruthless, with luxurious taste, married to a hot Nordic woman and with a Swiss passport.

      2. I don’t believe that he just “wasted cash” to impress people – he apparently got the jetski back in 2012 and has apparently had a lot of fun with it. I kind of wish I had one
        .
        Not only that, but I learned a little bit about jetskis that I didn’t know before

      3. Ajeoshi, don’t be a petty hypocrite. You’ve been spending cash on yourself (clothes, hair, car, etc.) for years in order to impress people at least to some small extent — we ALL have to varying degrees. Thus, the truism “Dress to Impress.” Perhaps the author is a shallow shameless cuck who has no sense of identity, but I don’t think so. He’s just pointing out a fun hobby that tends to attract women dressed in skimpy attire. So be it. Why don’t you give your hand at writing an article on ROK and see all the supportive comments roll in?? Yeah, I won’t hold my breath — for either your article or any supportive comments.

        1. Allister – Don’t forget the money he spent “impressing himself” with lube and fleshlights cause he never gets any girls. The porn itself was probably free though – he can write an ROK article on how to find it.
          .

  10. I see they are not interested in shit you have lambo/jetski/yacht…showing off, etc… usually think guys like that are douches…
    But if they like you – these things can be additional…but, they will still get bored, and move onto the bigger yacht etc…
    Motorbikes are probably different – the noise, the bad boy, and you are on the street with them…not many women in the ocean…

  11. and then you don’t use it but are still paying insurance, storage fees, maintenance…
    Like below – rent while on vacation.
    I see many in the Hudson River lately. maybe be fun to take a date for a tour around Manhattan. And certainly while on the Tropical Island Vacation…
    We all know my ex wife says: “if it fly’s, floats, or fucks – cheaper to rent….”
    And all my 35 years of travel I have never been on one…

  12. Watercraft are fun as hell. I love riding them, which is reason enough. If they also get you laid why all the hate?
    Jump some wakes, play in the water then roll up on the beach and enjoy other people’s company.
    Some girl will want a ride and let things go from there.
    He’s trying to get you guys out of the basement and off the Xbox so you can actually get laid.

  13. Here are the points I got from this article:
    .
    1. Jets kiis are fun
    2. Girls are materialistic and shallow
    3. There are cheap ways to find a jet ski
    4. Go out and live life and have fun
    .
    I don’t know why everyone is giving this guy a hard time…he is trying to encourage people to take a new hobby – not be a pretentious dick. We should be SUPPORTING ROK articles like this – not trashing them like everyone did for the shoe article yesterday.
    .
    A true-alpha would not feel compelled to trash an article like this, you would agree with what he is saying

    1. Agreed T-Rex. But the fact of the matter is that despite our commonality of trying to learn as many Red Pill truths as possible, the majority of ROK commenters have little in common and most are grumpy old pricks with a big “L” on their forehead. Unfortunate, but true.

      1. Right on bragh!! Lots of do-nothing XBOX trolls lurking in these ROK comments. They will learn life the hard way

  14. Now, let’s see if we can adapt this list to demonstrate 10 Reasons Why You Should Play Cricket:
    >>> I’m a girl, and I love cricket
    >>> Cricket is strategic and often geopolitical, also the opposite of boring
    >>> The rules of the original Marylebone Cricket Club only permitted “gentlemen” to play, so of course cricket is masculine
    >>> You don’t need money to play cricket: only a ball, a couple of batsmen, a few willing mates to play outfield, and something that looks like a wicket
    >>> You can play cricket anywhere there is land (subject to conditions, c.f. Mike Atherton)
    >>> Of course, most cricketers are honest and upstanding citizens, but you will have many provocateurs that use cricket as their primary vehicle for attention
    >>> Most cricketers have wives. Case closed!
    >>> Cricket is very good value for money – and sanity. How many footballers do you see playing their sport for a quarter of a century like Sachin Tendulkar did?
    >>> Cricketers are more loyal than not, but easily shifted between clubs in T20, so… yeah, sort of
    >>> And, of course, you get to meet potential friends for life at the clubhouse
    CONCLUSION: Playing cricket is just as beneficial as owning a jetski, and probably better in the long term. 😉

    1. Speaking of “playing”… you can keep “playing” with yourself in mommy’s basement where you got that Megan Markle poster hanging up

  15. “An article why buying THINGS will make you get chicks”
    What site am I on ????

    1. This guy is promoting a hobby, and I feel that his article is geared towards encouraging younger guys who live with their single-mothers in their basements, and want to get laid.
      .
      He is promoting buying a jet ski have fun and ATTRACT hot chicks. And…I don’t even see him even specifically promoting Sea Doo

  16. Jet skis are fun. The only thing better than owning a jet ski is having a friend who owns jet skis.

  17. What I said in my comment about salsa dancing in a previous ROK article applies here. Girls will be happy to dance with an expert salsa dancer (as I once was) who they don’t find sexually attractive but then when the dance is over, they run off to the guy they do find sexually attractive and the expert salsa dancer is left holding his dick. Ditto for jet skis or real boats or airplanes or fancy cars. Girls will be happy to enjoy these toys but they won’t give you sex just for having the toy. They’ll ride the jet ski then maybe say thank you, maybe not, then run off to have sex with Chad and you the jet ski owner stands like fool with dick in hand.
    .
    Neither money and the things it can buy nor status/fame by themselves wet girls panties. Lots of lonely rich men, lots of miserable and lonely famous people. Sex appeal is a combination of personality and looks, but what girls find attractive in terms of looks is not always obvious. Lots of lonely guys with handsome faces and gym bodies. As for personality, all bets are off on what girls find attractive there plus you can’t radically change personality though you can make small changes.
    .
    All the things listed above (expert salsa dancer, toys money can buy, money itself, fame, looks, personality) can and should be improved upon, but don’t devote too much time or effort to improvement. Top 20% is good enough. Single biggest thing is to identify those girls who want you for some combination of looks and personality and only go after those girls. Note that those girls might be on a different location, including other side of the world. Don’t waste your time on girls who don’t want you.
    .
    Girls who don’t want you without the jet ski won’t want you with the jet ski. At best, the jet ski might make you noticed by a girl who would want you without the jet ski but didn’t notice you beforehand.

    1. Forgot to mention. If, after reasonable effort improving yourself in all aspects (looks, personality, money, status, maybe toys like jet skis that money can buy), and after relocating if necessary (usually because of looks issue where you currently are that would not be an issue elsewhere, such as guys much shorter than average for current location), still no girls that you find desirable reciprocate that desire, then do what I do: plunk down cold cash to raise your value in the girls eyes.
      .
      Reciprocated desire is nice but not as important as sexual access to women you desire. True alphas, violent absolute dictators for example, are probably not loved by the women they ravage. Men desire, women are objects of desire. Modern men’s need for reciprocated desire is because men nowadays are socialized to think and act like women. Obsessing about shoes, like in yesterday’s article: pure faggotry.

    2. The point of game is to help you become interesting.
      I happen to climb mountains, hunt, brew beer, play an instrument, swing dance, ride motorcycles and walk slacklines; bishes find me interesting. I’m fit and have a decent house and car.
      If you struggle at being interesting, here is a way to improve your IQ (interesting quotient).
      No harm in that.

      1. Alot of these guys obviously dont care and/or are threatened by anythign alpha – especailly Deplorable Neil Jan-Pussy. But then again, when youre 35 and mommy still does your laundry, its really hard to make changes or see things through an objective view bragh

  18. I think it’s all relevant. They’re fun, they’re masculine, they’re old school, and they’re not paddle boards and the like.

  19. The fok, mate? I don’t want to buy expensive shit just for the ladies. The only thing women need is a cock in their vagina. Anyway, if I was to get something just for this I’d get a yacht. The bitches love yachts. This article is dumb, fake, and gay but mostly just fake and gay.

    1. You missed like 25 points of the article…and i seiously *doubt* you are grtting laid on a regular basis, so don’t ack like it. Have fun on your inflatable kayak bro…you aint’ gettin’ no yacht…or no jetski either

      1. I prefer not going to the sea at all, it stinks like whale shit. But visually, it is nice to look at laddeh

  20. Reason 8 and 9 should be 1 and 2.
    all the other reasons should be around number 4000.

  21. Does the author seriously think that most ROK readers can even afford jetskis, or live in places where they could be of use?

    1. Did you read thagh article??? Of course you you can bragh!
      .
      Just mommy to pay for it…and emerge from that old dusty basement

  22. “You ever see a soy-drinking, Starbucks buying, yoga loving, #MeToo marching, feminist-supporting boy-bitch at the helm of a 300 horsepower jet ski? Me neither.”
    Actually, yes. That seems to be who they were made for.

  23. Jetskis are lame. You can only use them on the weekend, and in many places only a few months a year. Also, you can’t just own a jetski, you must also own a trailer and a car to tow it to the lake or whatever. If you want a real motorsport you can enjoy almost every single day, get a bike. WTF?

  24. *”A supercharged ski (Google what a supercharger is) can launch you and two petite sorority hotties”
    WOW, i never heard of a supercharger before!
    I’m gonna impress my Xbox friends with what i know.
    hey, I wanna launch two petite sorority hotties too.
    I better go buy a ski before some other chad
    shows those two virgins what a weiner is
    and gets them hooked, believing no others exist.

  25. I don’t really disagree but it is basically a wet motorcycle with no utilitarian function unless you live on a private island and have to zip over to the marina to buy a quart of milk and some energy drinks.
    I am from Toronto and the weather there limits your jet ski time even more than with a motorcycle. As a kid I spent most if not all my summers at West Lake (Prince Edward Island County), Rice Lake (Kawarthas), Georgian Bay and maybe Lake Simcoe.
    My one grandfather had a reasonable boat with a 40 HP motor and that was fun as hell whether to troll for pike or go waterskiing. (Albeit, fully grown men need a bit of skill to pop out of the water with the limited power and that was basically impossible on a single slalom ski.)
    The only advantages of a jet ski is that they are more compact than a boat, and there is a certain additional intimacy if you and a girl are going somewhere or just for a spin – alone. . .together. And yes, they are more fuel efficient but if you are dropping 5-figures on what is essentially a toy, when are you really woried about the cost of gas?

  26. I bought a street legal enduro bike, but it is for me to ride. Not crazy fast, but tons of fun off road.

  27. What part of fl is the author from? I ride the swfl area every weekend you cant beat it for the money. One criticism to the author though, that small boat with handlebars is not a jet ski. any moron can ride it, 0 skill required. get a superjet, blaster, raider, octain, js/sx ect… or go home man seriously, something a woman physically can not ride. These new skis are so safe, emission controlled, heavy and BORING!

  28. I’d wager 50% of people who buy jet skis never use jet skis. Keep working on your image, guurlfriend.

  29. LMFAO… advising getting a loan for a completely non productive requires maintenance no dick mid life crisis toy. Bloody halarious, this is what idiots do. How about 20k in hair transplants so think drunk collage girls will suck ya off, geeee. Get a fuckin tractor, some gold, or guns….anything. Spit game to get pussy, FUCK.

  30. Jet skies might attract trim but they are just another depreciating asset like women themselves

  31. This article is a parody, right? Where to begin… Jet skis are the epitome of financially stupid purchases. They have zero value for transportation, terrible resale value and limited use. In terms of excitement they are good for about fifteen minutes. A sport bike is far more exciting and even useful than a jet ski will ever be. If you MUST have one, find a used one from some redneck declaring bankruptcy but make sure it hasn’t been thrashed – though most of them have been.
    If you’re buying things to impress women you’ve missed the point of the red pill entirely anyway.

  32. I worked as a mechanic in a Jet Ski garage, and I know these things pretty well. They are very expensive and burn gasoline like there’s no tomorrow. They may be fun and I may want to rent one for a couple of days if I’m on vacation somewhere, but wasting so much money in buying one is stupid unless you’re rich.
    Honestly, writers on RoK of all places should know better than to spend tons of money just to attract some puss. Nothing wrong about having some fun with jet skis if you can afford it and like it but otherwise doing because you might look good to some random beach slut it’s quite the beta attitude.
