Jet Skis Cross Bass Straits

Post by Yako »

A couple of blokes did a 720Km return trip to Tassie & back to raise money for MS.
Although there's heaps of advertisements in this article.

It's great that someone finally found a good use for jetskis although compared to crossing Bass Straight on a paddle board it doesn't seem like they were pushing the edges of human endeavour.
