Why Irish Tow Surf Rescue Club Opposes County Clare Jet Ski Ban
22nd April 2021
“Aquabikes” caught the attention of former
Irish Times journalist Kevin Myers back in 1982.
The
Irishman’s Diary writer was seriously concerned about the pressure windsurfers were putting on the RNLIDun Laoghaire lifeboat at the time.
He had read about these “aquabikes”, made by a Japanese motorbike company, which “skid across the water, steered by handlebars”.
Although there might be “cacophonous” drawbacks, this vehicle might prove useful in rescuing windsurfers, he wrote - if it wasn’t engaged in knocking them down, or worse.
Almost 40 years later, and jetskis have proved their worth in rescue, with trained riders able to access areas of the coastline that may prove too dangerous for coast and cliff rescue crews, lifeboats or helicopters.

Jamie O’Brien likes to have more fun than most people. Or, as much fun as anyone. You get the idea – he likes to have a helluva good time. That’s why he likes to do weird things on waves. Like use rubber tubes meant for towing behind a boat to ride big, outer reef waves on Oahu. So that’s what he and a bunch of friends did recently. Then he claimed on his YouTube page, “Biggest Wave Ever Rafted.” Yes, one of these waves on this video just might be the biggest ever rafted by a toy usually used to ride behind a boat. Because no one ever uses them to ride waves. But that’s beside the point when you’re out for a good time.
