The guy running the ride noted the wad of cash in Dill’s hand and cut him some slack, pretending not to see him going up on tippy-toes to meet the minimum height requirement.

“You two flying together?” he asked.

“Yeah,” I said.

“I’m just watching,” said Gloria.

“Costs ten dollars to watch,” said the guy.

Gloria rolled her eyes and slapped a Hamilton into his gimme-gimme hand.

Dill and I strapped on our helmets, life vests, and harnesses. The ride operator gave us, like, a five-minute training talk.

“Don’t do anything stupid,” were his closing remarks.

And then it was time to blast off.

He fired up the two supercharged water pumps. Water shot up the six-inch-wide fire hoses and sprayed out the one-inch-wide nozzles. You don’t need to be a physics genius to figure out what kind of pressure that’s going to create. White clouds, as thick as booster-rocket fumes, zoomed down and smacked the water we were wading in. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. We lifted off! I was actually flying, just like I said I had in all those kitesurfing stories.
