Thrill seeker might do this though it involves a risk of getting wet (8)

'thrill seeker might do this though it involves' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'a risk of getting wet' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'risk' is 'rski' which is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'wet' is 'wte' which is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
