Thats what got me into Jet Sleds.
You can get anything you want from mild to wild.
You ofcourse would want Wild :)

Check tours-beamer
Then check US Mail Tour

"IF" and thats a big IF, its the same guy who had the mail contract in 1990 it's was sort of a rag to riches story.

One of my customers said his brother and wife moved over there because they both liked white water running and Steelhead & Salmon fishing.

They bid on the mail contract.
Then turned it into a tour at the same time.
When they got the contract they just had thier fishing boat.
It would hold them and the mail.

In 1990 they had a sled that would hold them/mail and about 12 people. (with fishing gear)
BTW the boat used then was custom built (as most sleds were back then)
The boat had two V8s hooked to jet drives mounted as close as possible to starboard and port as they could be.
Had no steering wheel.
Steering was done using throttles only. Fwd/Rev etc like a track vehicle.

BTW your offroads video was inspired by a James Bond movie.
This was off shore but they used to have a Inshore racing team.
And that was wild! They would pay a farmer in E. WA to plow up a field then fill it with water. 12ft boats with big motors (jet)
would run a course that made the old figure 8 track car race tracks look mild.

Link, we're aware and the programmers are looking at it. I'm sorry everyone is having such difficulty. Hang in there, hopefully they will have the issue resolved soon.

As far as the video deejay, I think I might have to wear depends, but it sure looks like fun, 8)

way to cool
We have an inlet on the main land that when the tide goes out theres a standing wall of water of about 4 feet.
Once when we were going up Seymore Inlet we hit it in a crew boat "the water only had about a two foot drop at the time"it felt like we cought big air.

I think I know where you're talking about. The one out on the other side of Sonora the adventure tour companies always play around in?
