Video: Currumbin Alley madness! Gold Coast jet ski pilots ignore the law, as one nearly kills a surfer by getting sucked over the falls. By the time water police arrived, the boys had scattered!
Pumping waves attracted dozens of jet ski tow-in surfers to breaks across the Gold Coast to make the most of conditions. And although a Maritime Safety Queensland code of conduct states a jet ski operator “must not” operate jet skis faster than six knots within 200m of paddle surfers some users appeared to flout the rules without consequence. Following this close call Gold Coast water police Senior Sargent Kim Hill said a patrol was sent to the area following media inquiries but the culprits had vanished.
