LIKE A ROCK ! ... in the sand


See ya at low tide, Bro.

In March/April 2003, I ran a caption contest in the alt.surfing newsgroup. The winner was "Awe F'shore" who provided a caption for each photo. Here's the original post and all the snipped responses. Thanks for participating.

I personally don't like jetskis, but even I felt bad for this 
guy.  Afterriding around in an obvious "No PWC" zone, he tried 
getting his ski on the trailer and out of the water.  Got stuck 
in the soft sand with an incoming tide.  Took several hours, and 
finally got out with a tow truck and winch, but not before 
flooding his undercarriage and probably the cab with salt water 
(exhaust was literally bubbling).

Couldn't decide on a single picture, so I posted two of the 
better ones.  Choose one and write a caption.  Will send the 
winner something (tbd).

After the disastrous jetski incident, Stokely wondered if
his new 'friend' Dirk would think their first date was
a washout.
