I've seen this in the waterway between Lake Samamish and Lake Washington but
it was not jet skiers doing it. A middle-aged guy and his girlfriend in a
boat so overpowered they could barely make it run in a straight line. He'd
give it full power and make two or three turns before it got away from
him... then repeat. I had thought about paddling this waterway but when I
witnessed this I decided not to attempt it. My guess is that this happens a
lot.
