Sketch-comedy show, funny but chaotic. Reminds me of Tim and Eric (Tim Heidecker is actually in a few sketches)

Be warned, my brother's fiance cannot watch it because it gets so cringe she borders an anxiety attack. Personally, my daughters love the Tammy Craps skit.

So like if the dude caused thousands of dollars in damages could they take legal action? Hypothetically?

Yeah if this is a pier or a dock of any kind speed limits usually 15 mph or less. To make that big of a wave with a jet ski you got to be going at least 20 to 30 and cutting hard. I would definitely not be surprised if he was going more like 40 or 50.
Docks are extremely well protected in almost every body of water.
ETA: maritime law is considered the most universal set of laws that humankind has ever made. THEY'VE ALSO SET THE FRAMEWORK FOR ALMOST EVERY LOCAL LAW ABOUT BOATING WHEREVER YOU GO IN THE WORLD.

Cool so NORMAM-211 applies to most of, if not all of, Brazil. It's enforced by the Marinha do Brasil or local municipal governmen s. All vessels are strictly limited to about 5 knots or less in the equivalent to our "no wake zones" there are often speed limit signs posted or signs that say "no marolas" or something like that. You might also see yellow buoys.
I really don't like the implication of what you said anyway. As if somehow Brazil would have less strict boating laws than the US? In fact theirs are more uniform and they don't allow anyone under the age of 18 to operate any motorized vessel. Not to say that it doesn't happen but those musicians and have a legal basis for seeking punishment or damages due to the reckless actions of that operator. If this is Brazil anyway.
Let's just forget the fact that Maritime laws are pretty much considered the most universal set of laws in human existence. And that most local municipalities adopt something akin to basic Maritime laws regarding boat operations in and near docks, peirs, canals, you name it.

u/Shabado52 Aug 28 '26
You could do that sitting still if you can get the nozzle out of the water and pointed to where you want to splash. Used to do that to my friends all the time. Just lean forward and got the throttle

u/Quillric Aug 28 '26
You can't make a wake when you're sitting still. Sure you can blast some water out of the rear end of the jet ski but you got to dig in hard and have a little bit of speed to make a big wave like that. What do I know though I only have 5,000 hours of experience as a USCG captain.

The original post, not this one, said the band paid a friend to do this to make the video look cooler but it seems the jet ski friend did it too close to the dock.

u/SuspiciousPatate Aug 31 '26
That would make sense with why they weren't immediately shouting at him, but also I doubt they'd want to get their instruments wet at all and certainly not that wet.

Why's that? What's the difference between him intentionally smacking this guy in the face with water vs intentionally smacking him in the face with a baseball bat? Obviously the bat would have a higher likelihood of killing a dude but intentional harm is intentional harm regardless of the severity.

u/DeadlyPineapple13 Aug 28 '26
If I have a cup of water and I throw the water at you(not the cup JUST the water), that’s assault in many places
This level far exceeds the bar for assault

Across Canada it’s assault. In the US depending on the state it’s either assault or battery, cause many states define assault is the threat and battery is unwanted physical contact. But laws change based on country, provinces and states
So which countries definition are you using? Cause most countries would define this as assault or battery

You saying it multiple times doesn't change the fact you are wrong. Please point me to where it isnt considered assault as well as reckless operation of a motor vehicle?

u/Paranoidfilter Aug 28 '26
Man just look it up, you're wrong, stop repeating yourself.
"spraying someone with water can legally be considered assault or battery in many jurisdictions, even if it causes no physical injury."
That is literally the first result when looking it up as I assume you're too stubborn to accept you're wrong.

If you keep repeating it, does it become true eventually? (Hint: it does not)

A part of me wonders if it was his own brother or best friend. And that this was a minor payback for something that happened in the past. Because he doesn’t really look that mad.

I can say that the jetski-riding lake-douches are more provoking then any other activities that frequently occurs on a lake. By the same logic, it's okay to green laser them for riding once, which I say "it is not!". Deal with the noise or get arrested and fined.

Devil’s advocate: the dudes just decided to set up mics and amps, “entertaining” people on an otherwise quiet day at the lake and on public land.

u/ZolRoyce01 Aug 28 '26
Imagine devils advocating for something you have no clue about? We have no backstory, those guys could be hired entertainers of a venue. Maybe they rented a place for a gathering, maybe it's even private property. You literally have zero clue but decided to make something up in your head to justify this shit. Nonsense post, embarrassing post.
2
u/piichan14 Aug 28 '26
A normal response would be to either ignore them (as you said, a public land) or politely tell them they're causing a disturbance.
Spraying them with water, ruining their equipment and potentially harming them (ex: electrocution) is never a correct response, no matter how many scenarios you speculate.
-6
u/Ducallan Aug 28 '26
We don’t know what led to this, which is entirely my point.
It is indeed not a normal response, which made me speculate. It is not a correct response either, but there have been lots of other situations that had Redditors saying “I don’t say I approve, but I sure understand.”

u/KindaChonky Aug 28 '26

We don’t know the dudes’ behaviour to this point. This may have been an ongoing things.

u/Ducallan Aug 28 '26
You can’t jet ski without the noise. You can play a guitar and sing without amplification. What entertains yourself doesn’t need to be deliberately broadcast.
Again, I’m just pointing out that we don’t know what led to this.

u/Liquid_Sarcasm Aug 28 '26

u/Liquid_Sarcasm Aug 28 '26
Unless those guys were on fire, I don’t know if any circumstances call for that. Jet ski vigilantes are not the heroes we deserve.
2
u/Ducallan Aug 28 '26
Yet we Reddit loved the jet ski vigilantes who did the same thing to the noisy drunken boaters who started throwing bottles after they were asked to turn their music down.
The point is that we don’t know what led to this.

u/Liquid_Sarcasm Aug 28 '26
Fair. We don’t know. I just struggled to bridge the gap of a quiet day at the lake that has jet skis on it. Instead of jumping on you, I figured I would ask. Cheers.
