Jet Ski Bay Commute
Share
A story about AJ, one of the iCracked founders, who had an unusual way of commuting to work in San Francisco.
"AJ lived right near Oracle and his iCracked office was in Redwood City, but it was across this little bay. He would take this little boat to work. But every once in a while they had offices in SOMA, and he would ride this small boat - literally fit 2 people - 20 miles up the bay to SOMA and dock his boat there.
And when I say boat, it's better described as a jet ski that you stand up on. So he would basically jet ski to work. He was like Kenny Powers - he would jet ski to work. AJ is crazy, he's a crazy person."
