Re: Fun or death wish?
Looks like fun in the right circumstances, but I agree he needs a PFD (and skaters need helmets).
He could have the kill switch on a wrist lanyard.
He could be far enough away from the general public not to be a danger to others.
if he flips, the motor won't get him, but he'll need to dry it out (rebuild it if in salt); not much of a boat at risk.
Stunts and hotrods do that sort of stuff. people pay money to see it. people who do dare-devil stuff know why they do it. Aussies understand it; southerners understand it; other Americans used to understand it.
Don't be such a "you'll shoot your eye out" mama-type.
That is as long as he isn't dating your daughter, too!
