Emma Heart Says the Jet Ski Is a Three-Seater, and Ava Starz Is Already On Board

Emma Heart has issued an invitation, and it comes with a jet ski. The real-world influencer posted a fresh clip to X on Thursday morning showing her and best friend Ava Starz carving across blue Gold Coast water, and the caption is doing a lot of work.

“Its actually a 3 seater, so you could join us... with @ava_starz and @Emma_heart05,” Emma wrote when the video went up on her account (@Emma_heart05) at 9:35am Brisbane time on Thursday, October 29.

The clip runs just under eight seconds. Shot from above, it follows a red and blue jet ski as it swings through a wide turn, white spray peeling off the back, while the two friends sit up front laughing and waving at the camera. There is a lot of ocean, a lot of sunshine and, as Emma points out, technically one spare seat.

Scoop would like to formally register its interest in that seat.

It is a clever bit of captioning, really. Rather than describe the ride, Emma turns the post into a question for everyone scrolling past, and judging by the replies, plenty of people were happy to raise a hand. Whether anyone actually gets the call-up is another matter. For now, the third seat looks very much reserved for the camera.

Ava’s verdict: “so much fun”

Ava did not leave her best friend hanging. She quote-posted the clip on her own account with a simple review: “this was so much fun.” Coming from someone who has surfed the Gold Coast her whole life, that is a solid endorsement for a morning on the water.

By the time Scoop checked in, the post had 2,703 views, 154 likes, 23 replies and nine reposts, according to X’s public figures. Not bad for a few hours of daylight and one very persuasive caption.

Back on the water, again

If this feels familiar, it is because it is. Earlier this month the pair took a red jet ski down the Gold Coast in a seven-second clip that ran past 15,000 views on Ava’s account. That one came with a caption about someone nearly crashing. This one comes with a guest list. Progress.

It is the same easy chemistry, too. Ava and Emma are best friends from school, and Emma’s family famously took Ava in, so the two have been doing life side by side for years. A jet ski built for three just seems like the natural next step.

“Stop stealing Emma’s posts”

There was one less sunny note in the replies. Not long after the clip went up, Ava stepped in to call out an account that appeared to be reposting Emma’s content while posing as her. “Stop stealing emmas posts @Emma_heart05 is the real account,” Ava wrote.

It is a problem plenty of creators know well. As accounts grow, copycat profiles pop up borrowing photos and videos, sometimes to farm followers and sometimes for worse. Ava’s message to fans is straightforward: if you want the real Emma Heart, the handle is @Emma_heart05. Scoop’s advice is the same. Check the handle before you follow, and be wary of any “Emma” sliding into your messages.

It is also a nice reminder of how protective these two are of each other. One minute they are sharing a jet ski, the next Ava is playing bodyguard in the replies.

Who are Ava Starz and Emma Heart?

For the newcomers: Ava is a Gold Coast local who lives in Surfers Paradise. Away from X she works as a nurse in the casual pool at Gold Coast University Hospital, and when she is not on shift she is usually in the surf. Emma is her best friend and frequent co-star, and the pair regularly turn up in each other’s posts, from brunch dates to days on the water.

That mix of ordinary Gold Coast life and sun-drenched content is a big part of the appeal. They are real-world influencers in the most literal sense: a nurse and her best mate, posting the good bits of a Queensland week.

Scoop’s verdict? Jet ski: three seats. Riders: two. Invitation: open. Emma Heart and Ava Starz have made it very clear there is room for one more, and frankly, the rest of us should be checking the tide charts.
