Their love of jet skis had brought them close. Little did they know that it would take them overseas to a foreign country. Queensland, AUS locals, Mark Chappell, Kyle Shaw, Callum Mylrea and James McLachlan were all best friends working normal everyday jobs. They were tired of their jobs and wanted to do something that was associated with jet skis. Through hard work and determination, they struck a contract with Chimelong Ocean Kingdom Theme Park in the country of China, according to a report published in Central Queensland News.

Moving to a foreign country was the only way they could start a new life with a new job they actually loved. And so it began, everyday at 4pm and 8pm they would jump on their jet skis and ride around the theme park pool with fireworks strapped to their skis. With hover board riders, fly boarders, 10-meter (32-foot) tall flames, lasers and lights, it sure gave the audience a spectacular show. Not many people can say that they have ridden under those conditions.

These guys did their very best every day because they loved what they were doing. They had worked hard to become the best rider they could be and were rewarded with a contract they could have never imagined. They went from riding their local beaches and competing in watercraft competitions to performing live in front of an audience in China. We can’t think of any other job a watercraft enthusiast could dream of.

There contract was for only six months so the guys are preparing to leave but their experience has been unforgettable. With the high price of overseas travel this job allowed them to meet many people and talk to some of the world’s best watercrafts riders. They wouldn’t have traded this once in a lifetime opportunity for anything.
