Jet Ski for Beginners
Are you excited about your very first jet ski or wave runner? Because if you are here, it means the world of Jet Skis has already intrigued you to learn.
Things To Know Beore Riding
If you’re wanting to ride a jet ski for the first time and looking for beginner tips, then you have come to the right place.
Riding Jet Skis with Passengers
It’s no surprise family and friends will want to jump on for a spin! If so, here are some extra steps to follow with extra passengers:
- Carry no more passengers than the jet ski permits. Even if your jet ski’s passenger limit is 3 passengers, you must follow the weight limit.
- Sit all passengers behind the driver.
- Whenever the jet ski’s moving, have passengers secure themselves onto the seat straps.
- Make sure passengers never place their feet in the water during operation.
Jet Ski Styles: Stand Ups vs Sit Downs
There are two types of jet skis: Stand ups and sit downs.
Both style jet skis have inboard engines that use water to create thrust for propulsion and steering. In other words, you can only control the watercraft when the throttle is on! (It’s important to note some of the newer models can maintain their steering without the application of the throttle.)
Stand up jet skis are almost like scooters on water and require a great deal of balance to ride. I don’t recommend your first ever jet ski ride being on a stand up. When I rode a stand up for the first time, I don’t even think I was able to stand up!
