How To Load Your Jet Ski Onto A Trailer

With Ken Collins – Moss Landing

You first want to be back quite a way to make sure your ski is lining up with the trailer. Right here I am going really slow and just making sure I am lined up just right.

Now I come in within a few feet of the trailer and the ski and the trailer are lined up perfect, still I am not going to fast just yet. Notice how my feet are planted on the top of the hull and not planted inside, your feet will get wet in there. I don’t suggest doing this clothed for your first few times. Keep your wetsuit on as nothing is worse once your all changed and for whatever reason your dry clothes get soaked.

As soon as the nose of the ski is over the trailer I give the gas one last punch making sure the ski get’s all the way up the trailer.

I give my driver Peter Mel the go ahead and he gradually gasses his truck and pulls us up.
(Note from us to you. We do not suggest driving up a boat ramp with your ski on the trailer that has yet been hooked to the trailer. We have seen a handful of ski’s fall back off the trailer and onto the ground doing it this way)

Big Wave Surfers Do Break Up

Having a relationship in the water is a tough situation for most of the big wave tow surfers. How do they find there perfect match? In the photo below you see Anthony “Tazy” Tashnick and Peter Mel a once full on tow team. Maybe it became to much for Peter playing a dad to Anthony as well as a tow partner. Then you have Josh Loya and Kenny “Skindog” Collins. Skinny mentioned some times they would go out into the surf together and not even talk. What comes in between these guys and why can’t they just stay together? A couple things we know and hear happen. Who owns the jet ski? Did they split the ski 50/50? Who is storing the ski and who is really cleaning and taking proper up keep on the ski? Who is the man that just does it and doesn’t need to be told how and when to do things? In the end there always seems to be one guy carrying more weight then the other. We’re not sure who Anthony and Peter have moved onto and we have seen Kenny Collins teaming up with Nic Lamb. In the end when the waves get big these tow surfers are always seem to be scrambling to find there next tow partner.
