Some days are worse than others. The unidentified freerider made the decision to head into some stormy seas and his ski. Tempting as the overhead waves could be, he did not fare well and ended up stranded in the water. A video begins with a scene like something straight out of a shipwreck movie. A riderless ski is lying on a sea wall. The rider is trying to swim to reach his ski and just ends up pushed away while being rocked back and forth by the heaving waves. He’s waving his arm at anyone on shore, all the while trying to reach his craft.
The positive side of this event is that the rider is wearing safety equipment including a helmet and a proper lifejacket that is keeping him afloat and his head above water. He gets close to the location of his ski and abruptly sent back out by the waves that are continuously bouncing off the wall.
We dug a little deeper in search of any information as to how the story ended. We checked the Toronto PWC’s Instagram account and its Facebook Page and found no conclusive evidence as to what unfolded. From the comments on the Instagram page, this is nothing unusual. Keyboard warriors were either making light of the situation or commenting about the number of other riders who think they can handle riding near the jetties and bridges in the area during stormy conditions. Know your limits because sometimes, you just get wasted!
