S3.E1 ∙ Our New Boat

Sun, Jul 13, 2014

Greg gives a quick recap of our newest team member. Our support boat. Now we have a place to sleep, recharge, eat, use the facilities, and gather resources. The boat is a very big step for the team and now there's just one small hitch . . . we have to figure out how to use it. PK knows a lot about boats and Greg is a genius with engines so we have a pretty good starting position.

S3.E2 ∙ Testing the Fuel Sending Unit

Sun, Jul 13, 2014

Greg gives us a quick lesson on testing for an electrical signal. Our Fuel Sending Unit isn't getting power which means our fuel gauge is not giving us correct readings. Greg has been looking up how sending units work and knows that the boat moving around means the sensor has to work in a special way to gauge what is happening in the fuel tank.

S3.E3 ∙ Liberty Cup Set Up

Fri, Aug 01, 2014

Take a quick peak of us setting up at the Dockside Restaurant in Colonial Beach. We were enjoying the weather and all the people attending the Liberty Cup Jet Ski Races. Kathy joined us for the weekend as a support driver and all of us had a great time learning little bits of trivia and day to day tricks to help make jet ski trips more enjoyable.

S3.E4 ∙ The Health of a Warrior

Sat, Sep 13, 2014

PK talks briefly about some of his injuries and how he keeps moving forward. Some days are a struggle while others are much better. This is a big weekend which will likely leave him exhausted and unable to move for the following week but he knows how important it is that everyone see us and how we work together as a team.

S3.E7 ∙ Holiday Video

Sun, Dec 21, 2014

Take Point Now is out on our boat, Resilient, in the cold of December. Every day we're getting closer to our goals of breaking world records and getting veterans out onto the water. PK was super sick but Greg and Erika prop him up long enough to be in our video. This is one of those days that we title "PK needs adult supervision." Usually it's Erika who winds up with that task but today Greg was around to help out with it. Never give up. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Take Point Now.

Take Point Now is #LaunchingDefender. Our IndieGogo Campaign is in full swing to create our second jet ski prototype for injured and disabled riders. This prototype was designed by PK and the team to be used by a rider with any type of hand or arm injury. The joy stick allows the rider to steer with one one arm. Follow our journey breaking world records and getting wounded veterans back into a team dynamic, "Alone I am nothing, together we are everything."

S3.E11 ∙ The View From the Bow

Sat, Jun 20, 2015

The view from the nose of a jet ski. Washington DC. Erika has been finding different, and sometimes strange, places to put cameras on the skis. They can look out in any direction and either film the rider, the wingman, or the scenery. It's been difficult to find good mounting positions being that the engine rumbles quite intensely and the cameras can't be on a location that is shaking.

S3.E12 ∙ Marines and PWC's

Sat, Jun 20, 2015

How many Marines does it take to air out a jet ski? The guys still find ways of amusing themselves even with something as simple as airing out the skis to clear the entire ski of any type of fuel fumes. Whether or not we've aired them out is a good indicator as to how close we actually are to getting the skis into the water.
