Jet Ski gear rack

Postby RRC1962 » Thu Aug 04, 2022 4:24 pm

I built this in a few hours so I could take the jet ski to the kite beach. I looks a little "beverly hillbilly-ish" so I'm working on an aluminum version that will double as a board rack and a wake board tower. It would be a few inches taller than the PVC version and a lot cleaner in the way it mounts and looks.

Thanks. That Wing 165 is a light wind beast. It wants to go upwind with very little effort from the rider. I have a LW Kick-S 144 also. You have to edge hard to go upwind. Great board and more agile than the Wing when there is enough wind.

Looks nice. Did you add the cleats to the side yourself? They look handy for the rack.

FWIW, my Kawasaki Ultra LX has massive storage in the front. I can fit 3 kites in the front along with pump harness and wetsuit. I bought that model specifically for the storage. :)

The cleats are factory. One downside to the Yamaha EX is the lack of storage. There is not enough internal storage to store much more than a few beach towels and anchors.
