Newbies vs. Vets

A few months into this season have left me with some observations.

Newbies want to know where the life jacket is and they put it on before they can listen to anything else.
Vets want to forget the life jacket and have to be reminded to put it on before taking off :)

Newbies want to make sure that we can see them wherever they go and they go slow enough to keep an eye on us too!
Vets disappear into the horizon and have to be waved back in when the time is up.

Newbies do what I call the "hop-stop". They increase the throttle to where they are hopping over the waves, then they let go when the up and down motion becomes too much.
Vets ease on and off the throttle for a continuous, smooth ride.

Newbies slow all the way down when making a turn so that the circumference could encompass a small island.
Vets make tight turns and shred the waves, leaving really cool patterns on the sea.

Which one is better? They're both awesome and we love them all!

Which type of rider are you?
