Description
Award-winning jet skiing enthusiast Steve Gordenker remembers the good old days at El Capitan reservoir in East County.
“This was a very special place to the San Diego watersports community. We’ve probably been coming here for 35 years,” said Gordenker.
The water fun stopped when the City of San Diego closed all water recreation on its reservoirs on March 18, 2020 because of COVID-19. The reservoirs eventually reopened later that year. But jet skiing on El Capitan is still prohibited. Even the hand-painted sign posted at the reservoir's entrance informing visitors that "jet sking" was not allowed seemed like a misspelled afterthought on the city-run lake.
