Appreciate it...can't wait to attempt that technique on the beaches we typically cruise where the tide definitely comes into play!! We are just kicking off our channel as we purchased an Explorer Pro to begin cruising Coastal Carolina ....I hope you will follow our adventures as well! Happy Sunday!
Excellent video on anchoring my new jet ski.....I'm a gold prospector so when I go up the smaller creeks for a look see, I know how now to set up a good anchor system....thank you.... Bill
Tried your method, works good except 100ft line wasn’t long enough length from shore in our areas. Looking at your video looks like your seadoo is a lot further out then 50ft especially one with tide out.
When using a danforth/fluke (typical) anchor, you need to attach it to about 3 feet (1 meter) of galvanized or epoxy coated chain and attach the rode to the other end of the chain, otherwise you will rarely get the anchor to set. The chain keeps the anchor laying on bottom so the pivoting blades can dig into the ground. If no chain is used. You will keep unsetting the anchor every time you try to set it. Also, your anchor rode should not be a floating (buoyant) type of line. That way its harder to wrap it around your impeller/propeller.
Great system👍. Have you ever had an angry person go off about the ropes running along the beach? When you push the ski out in this video the water is calm with no swell or waves. Have you encountered issues with this system with some small to medium swell / waves? Thanks for the video👍
G’Day Peter, I haven’t had any problems and the loop is attached to a tree which makes it more secure than traditional anchoring. Filling your sand bag anchor with something really heavy is important though so you can pull the ski in and out without dragging the anchor. The only option that is more secure is to beach the ski but then you’re stranded for hours.
@@JetSkiCamping It's amazing depending where you are and how long, like several days, how much the river and lake levels fluctuate. For example, if we're camping or house boating at Lake Powell, everyday the lake is rising in July and starts lowering in August. So you are constantly redoing your lines daily, especially with a house boat. You don't want that beast getting stuck on the beach. And as far as the garage goes, I love it too! It's an attached 3 car and fits all the toys just fine. BTW, you should see the pool......that's for another video for sure!
Will this loop technique work if im sleeping out on the vessel but still tied to shore? Some of the beaches are rocky so i don't want the boat to get beached while im sleeping on board.
I purchased mine from Australia 🇦🇺! It’s a copper sand anchor and especially made for Jet Skis ! With a few m of stainless steel chain, it works well. Not cheap … but it is effective!
That block would hold much better without the bag. The snap hooks should be locking or doubled if overnight- redundancy is key. I do similar with a 42’ sailboat and a 17” runabout often in 20’ tides. This is the vey basics. Anchor first, back in to shore, unload, pull out with the system. Good vid though
@@JetSkiCamping I’m about to ! I’m so thrilled and excited by all your content. I do quite a lot of hiking (Scotland) and also motorcycle camping. I live 10km from the Ria Formosa (Algarve Portugal) and am planning a camp. (We have a 2019 Wake Pro 230) The Ria Formosa should be good for a camp somewhere, but it’s also a “nature reserve” so I don’t want to irritate the authorities! I’ll film it when we go. 👍
It’s made locally from the Brisbane Kawasaki store in Australia. I think you can still buy it from their website. Not sure about shipping options. It’s a great design for my ultra lx.
I think I get it. But it is a little confusing because you keep changing from a white loop rope to a red one, even during the same explanation. Or maybe you don't..? I dunno!
Thanks for watching - if you have any anchoring tips or tricks please share!

genius! thanks for the detailed video explaining - great trick!
Bro, finally the video i was looking for. Thanks a ton!
Ive been on the water my whole life, never thought about this anchor technique. Great video as well. Thanks.
Thanks mate - appreciate you leaving a comment!

Cooper's anchor and sand bag, got both they awesome plus have the bluescrew
I'm going to try this off of Catalina island. Parsons Landing which it's never been attempted before, is a beautiful camping site 😊
How did the anchoring at Parsons work out?
I know I'm a bit late to this video...but love the tips here, thx!!

Great advice!
That's a cool system mate.
Thanks Joe - if you try it please let me know if you have any suggestions. I'm sure some refinements are possible.
Great system👍.

Thanks for the video👍
G’Day - yes, will anchor normally if the beach is busy for this reason.
@@JetSkiCamping another part of cb question. Does this hold ok if the wind suddenly changes and increases a bit?
Enjoying your videos mate

Good info and well presented. Thanks
Thanks Don.
Is there a tow tap or tow suggestion for the Kaw? Thanks.
This is fantastic! Thank you for the vid.
I've done several different anchoring methods but this is brilliant, well done!
Thanks Billy - not that you have to worry about tides out at your lake! BTW - I'm still recovering after seeing inside your garage!!

@@billythephoenix Interesting! Yeah would be difficult to drag a house boat out. Can't wait to see the pool!

Great video. Can’t wait to test this out, can I ask what brand sand anchor you use thsnk you

Great video mate 👍🏻
How long do you keep your ski in water without flushing? What’s the maximum time you recommend to go without flushing???
I just flush as soon as I can.
"the water's starting to get.... slightly uncomfortable.." haha

Thanks’ Great video
Clever system ☝🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So I'd need 2 anchor systems. one for shore and one for when i go out fishing? if so, how to attach the secondary anchor once i'm out in the sea?
What kind of knot did you use to tie the rope to the tree?
Loop the line round the tree and use a bowline.
Cant thank you enough ...brilliant
Thanks Max. Have you given it a try?

Ps you recommended the Cooper Ancjor and we had one shipped all the way from Australia to Portugal !
Awesome thanks
Hi
In what state is this in australia
How do we stop the ski from driftingg back to shore if the anchor is on a looprope in deep water?
The jet ski is pulled out to the anchor and then the loop rope is tied to the tree. This stops the loop rope rotating so the ski cannot drift back in.
Thanks
what brand is your esky holder / frame? cheers

Anchor system calculus.
