If you have a motor you are a motorboat!!! Thank heavens sanity prevails in Victoria Australia at least as this newspaper article shows. www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/new-rules-prove-a-real-drag-for-jet-surfers-20130913-2tqa3.html Wavejets are a powered vessel may not impede surfers or swimmers, you have been told. Next time one comes barging through the line up dont sit back and take it, the law is on the surfers side!!!! If i was a wavejet customer and was sold a wavejet without the company informing me of these requirements id be looking for a full refund before my $5000 toy becomes an ebay curio at $300 :) Am sure there will be a lot more about to drop from a great height on them :)
