Jet Ski Rider Sucked Out to Sea after Overturn

A jet ski rider was unable to return to an overturned watercraft because of strong currents on Sunday.

Rifki Kayed Naser was probably expecting fun when he rented a jet ski, not the experience that he had.

Naser was dragged out into the ocean by the current on Sunday afternoon after a jet ski he rented from John's Pass overturned, according to ABC Action News.

Naser hit a wave on the jet ski he rented, which caused it to flip over. While in the water, he was unable to right the jet ski and was sucked further into the water by the current and strong winds.
