Absolutely! If you're riding fast over a long period of time, the goggles are a must. If you're just chilling 30-35 mph then sunglasses are just fine. I actually found a pair on Amazon. I don't even remember the brand but they were regular ski goggles.
Another fun video watch. You need to change the Ships Logg catch phrase from boating is life to Waverunning is life! It was cool you ran into a fan/sub on the lake. There is nothing wrong with your engine. It absolutely hums and sounds perfect.
