not trying to stir the pot but how exactly is it nicks fault for lauching like they did???? daytona beach is one of the most visited places in fla, simply because you can drive out on the beach. It's not nicks responsabilty to make sure everyone knows how to ride a jetski, or how to launch it properly. im sure if they did get stuck he'd go help, but they didn't because they got lucky
and as far as contributing to that county, he does an excellent job every year in jan putting the daytona freeride together. bringing people from all over the nation. the following monday he stayed and cleaned up most of the trash on the beach/behind the maki that other people left behind. I helped out a bit, but i don't think it's right to bash nick when it wasn't his responsibility to make sure everyone knows what they are doing and how to launch a ski.
those people are idiots for launching like they did.
thats my two cents.
